Unless something untoward happens

Tomorrow at this time, some of us will be on a train – a real life Amtrak train – on the way toward Chicago. We are just going and coming back on one day for the heck of it and for younger eyes to see the big city. We are hoping to go to the Sears skydeck during a non-cloudy period, but given that there is a new GLASS floor, maybe clouds would be better. Some people are envisioning AmeliaJake gluing suction cups to her hands and feet and inching out onto the glass support.

I will never live down the time in West Chester when I froze like a flattened squirrel on the garage roof.  Fortunately for me, that was before the day of little digital cameras and cameras in cell phones – heck, even cell phones. The latter is probably good because there were no calls . . .”Hey, I’m out here looking at AJ up on the garage roof . . . Ooooooh, you should see her . . . Sticking to it and shaking at the same time . . .  ”

I am surprised no one has thought of paying the folks who live there now to allow filming of a “dramatization” of the actual event

One thought on “Unless something untoward happens”

  1. How fun. I remember being on the Sears Observation Deck before there was a glass floor and that was more than enough for me! I didn’t like standing out close to the window. I can only imagine what it would be like with a glass floor!
    I would tell you to go to the Museum of Science and Industry but you are already flying along the rails I’m sure. When we lived in Chicago (oh so long ago and for 3 very long years) we used to do the annual Sears Tower, museum, aquarium, and Water Tower place visits. Then at Christmastime we would go down and look at the windows in Marshall Fields. Wonderful animated window displays. But Marshall Fields is no longer and I’m sure the window displays have gone the way of the dinosaur in the 25 years since we’ve lived there…… kinda sad.

    Hope your train trip is fun and the young’uns enjoy the sights.
