Sept Soon Left

My recommendation is to take a walk today. Find a spot to stand, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. (Obviously, be certain that all personal belongings are well secured if you are doing this in a public area.)

I am constantly amazed at the number of "new" details I have noticed on buildings while taking a downtown stroll; these details have, of course, been there for decades. Dates of construction, architectural elements, historic plaques, and various other minutiae are there waiting to be discovered. I will not admit the number of times I walked by the Tribune Tower before I noticed the embedded rock collection with help from my sister.

Reading begins with seeing. Find something to see today.
