Had a great weekend in Chicago incorporating a visit to the fantastic aquarium (anywhere with penguins is a place I want to be) and the long running show Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind. TMLMTBGB was certainly an exeperience - 30 plays in 60 minutes and the audience chooses the order. Some of it was very funny, some bits were poignant but I thought a lot of it was rather self indulgent. They were very proud of the number of plays they had written since the show opened. I wondered how many they had rejected - could do with a little Quality Assurance...

I did learn an excellent new word, or rather, an excellent new meaning to a word I already knew. My colleague from India, Rohith, told me that he and his friends in India used to describe weird/odd stuff going on as "Olympics". Why, I asked.

"Because what do Indian athletes do at the Olympics? They go, mess around, do their own thing, then come back! That's Olympics!"

As we walked out of TMLMTBGB Rohith turned to me and said "THAT was Olympics". I understood perfectly.

I'm leaving Chicago tomorrow so just time for a last picture of Millenium Park. It doesn't have any penguins but it does have giant pictures that squirt water which aint bad:
