Some thoughts of the day, on Monday, the day before the election.
I am asked if I think there will be a Blue Wave.
I respond that my biggest fear is that the Kavanaugh hearings will function like the Comey memo about Hillary’s e-mails. If the Kavanaugh hearings energize Trump’s base…..(finish that thought).

Joe’ Seafood, Prime Steaks and Crab House, Chicago.
On another topic, I saw “Bohemian Rhapsody” AND “First Man” and I can highly recommend both.
Years ago, at the Chicago Film Festival, I saw a bio-pic on Freddie Mercury of clips of all his public appearances put together by the man responsible for curating same. It was terrific! One thing that was not covered as well as it could have been was Freddy’s collaboration with an opera singer of the day.
Damien Chazelle, Writer/Director of “La La Land” and “Whiplash.”
“First Man” was also wonderful and a tribute to Damien Chazelle’s directing as much as Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Neil Armstrong.

Visited the Field Museum today and saw 2 films, one on ancient Egypt and one on Antarctica. Both were informative and educational.
The rest of the past few days were spent participating in a SLAM (Culture Club)
The Field Museum.
on Friday night and dining at Joe’s on Saturday night. I learned, the hard way, that I should always ask for the “market value” on crab values. (A: $70!) But it is a lovely place and the food was good.
