Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

I went to an event last week at the Missouri History Museum. My exhibit viewing time was limited, so I had to choose between quilts and Katherine Dunham. Guess who won?

OK, so I’m pretty sure ballet isn’t actually a sport, but it’s the only thing I’ve been doing for exercise this winter.

By the way, I also hear via the CHM that Chicago turns 172 years old today. Happy birthday, ya big lug!
