The sleekest, sexiest train ever! Wandering through the historic Pioneer Zephyr is a highlight of any visit to MSI Chicago. The futuristic design is only part of what you'll see . . .

Had a scheduled appointment today a CCS pharmacy for a Covid vaccine booster. When I checked in, I’m told they ran out and they have “supply issues.” No prior notification, despite their having my email and text info. Pathetic roll out and CVS execution

Airbnb obligations are why I prefer hotels. At a hotel, the staff resets the room for the next guest, and I can be on my way. The latest on my personal blog:
