Poetry Dog Tags


The Chicago Cultural Center across from Millennium Park has a great gift shop where you can always find fun stuff.

Recently I couldn't resist the cool glycerin soaps from the Enterprising Kitchen that were reminiscent of the ice paintings in the park. And I just had to buy the Poetry Dog Tags seen here. I love to pull a few tags from the box, see what comes up for the day, and wear them as a literary reminder.

The first day I wore: Billions beat as one
While Richard's read: Free, fast, happy

It wasn't until later that we realized how well they work together. I'll post more later--there's one for Shandy that I especially like.

Ice Paintings

In case you didn't get to visit the Museum of Modern Ice in Millennium Park before the exhibit closed, here are a few photos. We finally took the el down there last weekend so we barely made it ourselves. Wish we'd been able to see it at night.
