Another hot day of summer in Chitown - have to remember that I'll be wishing for this next January!
Took a quick trip to Louisville yesterday to brief a new trustee on our B of D. Haven't been there for about 25 years - she said that the metro area is 1.2 mil. Wasn't there long enough to make any real observations. Did have a great discussion with the cabbie on the way downtown and he expressed the prevailing sentiment that I am hearing more and more - that bush made a huge mistake going into Iraq, that it is a shame that our troops are dying for this mistake, that it is now a terrible mess for anyone to try to get out, and that the US can not solve other countries' problems. This guy was from Kenya and been here for nine years. Very articulate and insightful.
On the way back to the airport the cabbie was a lady who crossed herself getting on the Interstate, and then I saw my first real case of road rage. A guy in a van following another van, honking his horn constantly and following from about two feet - a disaster waiting to happen. This went on for three or four miles and then the enraged one cut across four lanes of traffic and exited the highway. Unbelieviable!
Cubs win on a wild pitch and now are in 1st place. Hope there is no looking back, but still two whole months to go. Woody is back today or tomorrow. Good luck to a great young man.
Finally, how does one know when they are really compatible with another person - perhaps a real soul mate? You can list preferences and experiences, etc., ala the online services, but what does that really mean? Should you be looking for someone similar or not? The old adage is that opposites attract, but then 50% of marriages end in divorce. I am thinking that there should be many similarities for compatibility purposes, but perhaps a few differences to keep life interesting. Just wondering.
Take care.
