Toto, we're not in Chicago anymore.

I left this morning about 10:30 and got in the cab to O'Hare Airport to take my flight to Washington, DC. Finally arrived and headed to Georgetown University (see stock photo). This campus is beautiful...I could see how being here would automatically make you feel smarter for some reason.

After lugging my 88 lb suitcase up three flights of stairs due to a broken elevator, I was pleasantly surprised that even though this building was old - I have some of the strongest A/C on the east coast blasting into my dorm room. Thank God, because it is literally sweltering here. I don't know what the temperature really is, it's just hot and miserable. I should enjoy it though, once I get up into the mountains, I'll be busting out the parka in no time.

When the plane took off, I strained to see the skyline - my favorite skyline in the world. Looking below I saw parts of the lake, the outer drive and the tall apartment buildings that line it. Missed the Sears Tower, but the image of it is permanently engraved in my memory and I didn't need to see it anyways. Here it is for you, if you're not familar...

I'm going to miss you guys. Oh, and drink an Old Style for me.
