And now, for some updating on the #101in1001:

41. Visit the Shedd Aquarium

43. Visit the Museum of History & Sue

45. Attend gospel brunch

46. Complete physical therapy

47. Play tennis

97. Go to Skydeck at the Sears Tower

I actually need to give a shout-out to the Youngblood for wanting to do #41, #43, and #97. #45 is courtesy of my Ma, since she's been asking to go to the gospel brunch for about 4 years. I finally took her for her birthday this month. The Skydeck was pretty awesome. The Museum of History and Sue were just like every other museum ever built ever. I hate to admit this, but frankly, if I never see another museum for the rest of my life I'll be fine. No matter what country I'm in, they are all the same. Middle Ages, Golden Age, Modern Age, blah blah blah, whatever.

The gospel brunch was pretty awesome. It was culturally disjointed. The music was classic southern Negro spiritual, but the audience was mostly white. Odd. That said, one of the audience participants who really got down with the get down was a tall lankly white guy in his early twenties or so. It was fantastic.

Sure, I'm getting all of the easy ones out of the way first -- but that just leaves me 2 years to get moving on the difficult stunts. (Buying a car?! What was I thinking?!!?!)
