Welcome to Chicago. I'm currently at the Society of Hospital Medicine's (SHM) sold out 2009 yearly conference. Happy's group dragged along six members to bask in the glory of all is hospitalism. I am trying to Twitter my experiences but find that the 3G network on my iPhone
is nearly non existent three stories down in the basement of the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
is nearly non existent three stories down in the basement of the Hyatt Regency Chicago.We decided to take the train into downtown. $2.00 per person. It beats the $50 cab ride. Wouldn't you know it. Our train was stopped a couple blocks from our station. Apparently some sort of medical emergency. Our train conductor was the kind of guy that loves his job. Apologizing over and over again for the delay.
We saw the medical emergency leaving the train deck in an electric motorized scooter wheel chair. I suspected the emergency was that the chair ran out of juice. But he looked fine.
We got out and huffed and puffed five blocks to the hotel and then took a six mile walk/jog along the pier. Apparently there was some guy who stabbed his family yesterday. As we were walking the roads of downtown, we almost walked down a stairwell to the street below. Mrs Happy saw the guy first, apparently pleasuring himself (possibly). I must not have been paying attention. We decided to find another way down to the roads below. She also thought the guy looked like a man who stabbed his family.
Welcome to Chicago SHM.
Awww...Chicago isn't that bad! Typical City atmosphere but lovely non-the-less (self pleasing vagrant aside)...Hope you got some enjoyment out of it and ate at some sweet restuarants!
ReplyDeleteWhen you go out to eat at said sweet restaurant, figure adding 30% to the cost of your meal...10.25% sales tax + 20% gratuity. Highest sales tax in the country.
