Shortly before noon, I went to the kitchen and made lunch, then brought it
out to the living room and placed it on the coffee table.

I always eat lunch in the living room so I can watch the reruns of Law &
Order, one of my favorite shows.

As I ate and watched Law & Order, from time to time I would turn my head and
look out my living room window and watch the Blue Angels practice for the
Chicago Air and Water Show, perhaps a mile and a half from where I was
sitting.

There are days when living on the Chicago Lakefront is worth every penny of
the ridiculous rent I pay to live here.

Today is definitely one of them...
