"Late Night Musings"

I'm sitting down here in the hotel lobby. Kelli is asleep in our room up on the seventh floor; I couldn't sleep. It's like the city is calling me -- the lights, the sounds, the ambiance. I want to go explore some more, but I can't just leave Kelli asleep upstairs. She would worry.

So, I'm sitting down here in the lobby, watching and musing at how busy things are. Dozens of people coming and going, a feeling of energy in the air, yet... it's after midnight. For some reason, I find all this to be quite fascinating.

Our hotel overlooks Grant Park. I think I'll go step outside for a bit, take in the evening atmosphere, watch some of the street life, and then head back up to our room. Tomorrow, Kelli and I are planning to visit the the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium, and maybe (if we have time) the Adler Planetarium -- all three of which are within walking distance of our hotel.

Busy day. I suppose I should probably go try and get some sleep, eh? :)
