morning city sky

Ok, first let's just get this over with - I didn't post anything yesterday.  It's the first day I've missed since I started this.  I worked at home all day which generally means I start working the minute I wake up and quit the minute before I go to sleep.  Yesterday I managed to take a break and have lunch with a friend, but other than that if I was awake I was working.

Now on to today.  On mornings when I have early meetings, I sometimes get a ride, quite a luxury.  It shaves about 20-30 minutes off my normal 45 minute commute, which means a lot when I have to be at an 8:00 am meeting.  It also gives me great views of the city on the drive in -  especially of the building where I work.  I live almost exactly 8 miles directly west of my building, formerly known as the Sears Tower, now rebranded as the Willis Tower.  This morning it was so hazy you couldn't even see downtown until we were pretty close.  For those of you who know Chicago, we were past Rush on the Eisenhower before you could really see much of anything.  But as you can see the sun was making a valiant effort to shine through the haze.
