That Feeling

Relaxing at Cans
Relaxing at Cans, Bucktown, Chicago

You know that feeling you get when you go out in the sun and are doing physical activity and hours after you come back in your face feels kind of tight and you have a semi-sweaty smell about you? I went for a long walk along the Chicago River, down to the Navy Pier on Lake Michigan with Barnum at lunch and I am basking in that feeling this afternoon. I can’t tell you how much sun does for my mood. So happy it’s not gray and cold outside any more.

Update: Last night, because it was so beautiful outside and I was in high spirits, I wanted to do nothing but sit outside. So after work we walked over and ate at Moonshine, which wasn’t technically outside but they had the huge windows open. Then we walked through the neighborhood over to Cans, where we sat outside – people-watching, relaxing, and having a few beers. The photo above was taken just before midnight at Cans.
