Driving into Chicago

It's 8:15am and Eric's still asleep. I've been up since 3:40am local time with creative thoughts in my head that needed to get written down. I made a pot of coffee, ate a bowl of cereal and gassed up the van, only to see the prices go up another four cents overnight. Gasoline is now costing around $2.69 here. When I left Arizona two weeks ago it was still $1.99.

Ouch.

The drive into the city will be quick and easy, taking I-65 north to the I-94 interchange. I'll be getting off at the Lake Shore Drive exit and heading into the Loop (the Center City) this route along the lake to our east and museums to our west. The 57-mile drive could take us just over an hour under ideal driving conditions.
