Back to Chicago
I landed in Chicago after an early flight from Philadelphia on United Airlines this past Tuesday morning. Due to the time difference and landing 25 minutes early, I walked off the plane before 8 a.m. Central Time, which felt like a blessing until I realized I was traveling downtown with everyone else at rush hour. It ended up taking about one hour and 20 minutes in a cab.

Her eyes would widen and her amazement grew with every float that passed, each one seemingly more elaborate than the one before. In between admiration and bewilderment, she’d say things like, “Do you understand how many rhododendrons it takes to cover that dragon’s body?” and, “Look!
