Tough to see the Chicago White Sox season come to an end. But like the Cubs, a lack of pitching and timely hitting did them in. Unlike the Cubs, this young Sox team exceeded expectations and then some. #ChicagoWhiteSox #Chicago #baseball

A good day of auditions today. Young actors reading real words by real young playwrights, working hard to get the gig. For some reason it felt a bit cathartic and I might dare say, healing. #theatre

Watching the world ignore or try to move past and weave through the obvious criminally depraved idiocy everyone sees unfolding day to day is disheartening. It’s human comedy in a Balzac-ian fashion. #politics

Good morning. Fall continues to creep in around the edges, though we’re going to warm back up today. #photography #today #Chicago

two vibrant zinnia flowers in full bloom but beginning to show the ravages of Fall. The prominent flower on the right is a deep, rich orange, while the one slightly behind it on the left is a softer, faded pink. Both have distinct, textured central cones surrounded by layers of delicate petals, set against a backdrop of lush green foliage.

a vibrant, fully bloomed dahlia with deep red petals that fade into creamy white tips. A small, green, unopened bud sits just below the main flower, set against a backdrop of lush green leaves and a blurred garden scene with a wooden table.
