Never travel with a library book!

As I mentioned, I left behind the library book I was reading at my sister's. Unfortunately, it's due tomorrow. I had figured I'd just renew it on the library's website and all would be well, but I get this message: "Item could not be renewed because another patron has requested it." How dare someone else request it! Outrageous! So now I'll have to pay a fine when it gets here. Not only that, I won't be able to finish reading the book!

I went to the last day of the Chicago Jazz Fest on Sunday, and had a marvelous time! Hot (almost too hot, but I had my hat!) and sunny weather, with the occasional breeze off the lake. Good and varied food (I had: skirt steak tacos with cilantro and onions, sweet potato chips, beignets, and pad thai - not all at once!). And, of course, great music. I got there shortly after 2:00, and stayed through most of the evening Mainstage concerts. Pics for those who are interested.

Yesterday, I just lazed around and read. Finished up Sarah Roahen's Gumbo Tales: Finding My Place at the New Orleans Table, which I enjoyed very much, even if it did make me hungry N'awlins cooking.
