Hey darlings.
Highlight of the day: I was taking the metra (shitty train that hardly goes anywhere) back downtown around 5 p.m. and there was a woman standing on the train facing the lake (east). She was saying evening prayers in Hebrew, very softly, doing the whole rocking back and forth, stepping back when she should and standing up and sitting down. She was also dressed all in black. Women aren't required (some would say are excluded, others exempt) to say the evening and morning prayers, so it was really interesting. Made me almost glad to be here.
