August 30, 2010 in Jean's yard in Chicago, Illinois. Monday Photo guest appearance by Joy.
Three days in Ann Arbor, then the weekend in Chicago for my sister Megan's engagement party. A few more days here and I'm headed home.
Today had lunch with my friend Dan at Big Star in Wicker Park. Fabulous. And Dan's good company, too. Spent the afternoon hanging out with my sister Jean and her sweet dog Joy in the backyard of her house in Humboldt Park. It wasn't easy to get Joy in the picture, but we finally managed.

Monday #87: Chicago, United States
August 23, 2010 on the Metra train at the Western Ave. stop in Chicago, Illinois.
Back in Chicago after a week out at Uncle Stew's lake house. Today took the train out to Northbrook to visit with Aimee and her now two-year-old son, Jonah. Visited the Botanical Gardens, had lunch, chatted while Jonah napped. Got back to Chicago, went to the gym and then got dinner with Jean and her boyfriend. Just nice to see Chicago friends, relax and have some time to chill in the city.

Monday #86: Culver, Indiana, United States
August 16, 2010 at Uncle Stew's house on Lake Maxinkuckee in Culver, Indiana. Monday Photo guest appearance by Jean, who turned 26 today!
This past weekend Stew hosted "Roberts Weekend" at his lake house. At one point 27 people were sleeping in the house. Lots of games (mafia, Risk, Hearts, Euchre), lots of time on the lake (water-skiing, tubing, swimming), but the highlight was probably dancing in the living room with my 26-year-old sister and our six-year-old cousin.

Monday #85: Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
August 9, 2010 at the Broder Van Dykes' house on Tantalus in Honolulu, Hawaii. Monday Photo guest appearances by Jesse and Kris.
Just got back from sailing for nine days with Tracy and her dad. This Monday I did a workout at Crossfit Oahu (rough after a week off, drinking and eating poorly), spent some time at Starbucks working on a chapter my professor and I co-authored, then met up with Kris for dinner and drove up to Tantalus to see Jesse, who was in town from D.C. with the senator. His parents own a great property up there and we sat and watched the sun set and the sky darken. I was very simply happy.

Monday #84: SV Boundless in Lanai, Hawaii, United States
August 2, 2010 on the sailboat Boundless anchored at Five Needles, Lanai, Hawaii.
One of the nicest places we stopped on the sailing trip -- no sign of civilization, just a little boat anchored by some cliffs.
