Walking and driving around Boston, my sense of geography is microcosmic. The city feels self-contained, and could be anywhere. I didn’t realize what a psychic comfort this was to me until I found myself watching the weather forecast on the local news last night. Why, I thought, is the meteorologist standing right in front of the Midwest? I can’t see Chicago, dude! And then, he made some comment about some uncharacteristically high humidity for Sunday. “Well, it’s been lovely today, though. Hey, that’s why we live in New England.” Uh, who lives in New England, honey? I live in the Midwest! Wait, no! I Don’t! I live in narrow-streeted, pub-covered, glorious-leaf-changing, concerned-by-Atlantic-hurricanes, Kennedy-loving New England. Whoa. I miss you, Chicago.

Chicago misses you too….
how could you even know that mom?
You know, just because you now live at the “center of the world” is no reason for the weather man to stand in front of Chicago. We may be the Windy City, but we really don’t want to receive his wind (if you know what I mean). He should save that for Gary, Indiana.
Chicago REALLY misses you!! How is Boston? Do you have an accent yet?
