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.

Roses in Pasadena
As a young child in rural Kansas, I have vivid memories of my mom, her coffee, and the television airing the annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, each New Year's Day. We’d marvel at the floats made completely out of flowers, leaves, fruits, vegetables, nuts and other natural materials. 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! They used cinnamon to create that incredible orangutan!”

And the Winner Is…
At the end of every school year, my elementary school hosted a “field day” competition for the students. We’d see who could throw the softball the farthest, who could jump the highest and who could pair up with a fellow classmate to run the three-legged race the fastest — all in celebration of another school year in the books. At the end of our competition, ribbons were awarded for first through sixth place. By the time I reached middle school, I became one of the students handing out those lovely red, white and blue ribbons to the rest of the kids in elementary school. I’m not sure which part I enjoyed more.
