For a while my Costco carried this stuff. Blends well and the vanilla tastes better to me than other brands, almost like cake batter, probably on account of the pea protein. If somewhere else doesn’t have it reasonably priced, my fallback is stocking up on Orgain when it’s on sale.

Koia plant-based protein powder.

Still can’t get over how amazing the weather was this last weekend in Chicago. You probably can’t overdose on this feeling but I’m going to try.

Got to check out the Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014. They did not let me sound the train whistle.

Happy Cinco de Cuatro.

“Stay out of White Sox business” might as well be the team’s slogan.

From the Sun-Times article by White Sox beat writer Mitchell Armentrout about Frank Thomas suing the team over a jersey dispute. The lede paragraph: “Once scolded to ‘stay out of White Sox business,’ Hall of Famer Frank Thomas is suing the team for allegedly cutting him out of it.”

Cool new exhibits at the Art Institute.

Entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago’s “Matisse’s Jazz: Rhythms in Color” exhibit.

Henri Matisse’s painting Still Life with Geranium (1906). Oil on canvas. In 1905 art critic Louis Vauxcelles disparagingly referred to Matisse and his contemporaries as fauves (French for
"wild beasts"). The term stuck and became the name for Fauvism, a relatively short-lived art movement known for shockingly bold color, rapid brushwork, and abstraction of forms. Matisse was Fauvism's unofficial leader. In this still life he loosely defined the potted flower, decorative vase, root vegetables, and small figural sculptures with minimal, simple lines and thickly applied dabs and strokes of paint.

Entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago’s exhibit Korean National Treasures.

Flute 피리
1956
Ink and color on paper
After Korea's liberation from Japan in 1945, the artist couple Park Rehyun and Kim Kichang-like many artists—strove to shed Japanese influences, especially their training in nihonga Japanese painting.
Instead, they sought new directions for hangukhwa (Korean painting). Park explored new styles by dividing forms into geometric planes: The overlapping branches in Flute give the tree a sense of volume, the boy's calligraphic lines and simplified coloring create a jarringly flat surface.

Cole Swindell sounds like a swingman the White Sox don’t trust in high-leverage relief appearances but might be able to soak up some middle innings and spot starts.
