I bought a medium coffee to go at Cafe Express on Main St. in Evanston this morning. I would have rather had it “for here.” That way I could sit at one of the empty tables, watch snow blow all over the road, and read all 12 articles about Ryne Sandberg and his election to The Baseball Hall of Fame.
If you have more than one section of the Trib opened up at a coffee shop at 9:30 on a weekday, you're doing something right. And you have my jealousy.
That delightful scene contrasts so sharply to the way my last two weeks have been that it makes me want to cry.
