It was a banner day for me - I got to reacquaint myself with Chicago, reconnect with some fellow journalists, and take in a Cubs game - a team I've never paid any attention to but boy, were their bats on fire last night.

I also got in so many steps - for me, breaking 10,000 is like hitting the lottery of fitness (and I did recently renew my vow to start paying more attention to my fitness.)

And then it was up another million steps or so, to the parking garage where my friend Denise had parked - we were hitting the road to Racine County, Wisconsin, where she lives. I spent the night at her place for the night - saved a few bucks on the hotel.

A great horned owl was positioned outside Denise's house, which provided a pleasant soundtrack to what really was a banner day.
