Jamila went apple-picking last weekend, and brought us a bag of delicious Zestars. Brian made an apple crisp with them...and we discovered that Zestars don't hold up to cooking well, so it turned out to be more like applesauce with topping. But it was still delicious.

I once snapped a photo of the Hancock Tower, one of the tallest and most impressive buildings in Chicago, from a perspective standing on the street a block away. It looked magnificent, a shining black obelisk rising up literally a hundred floors into the sky...and I sent it to a friend, commenting, "What you can't see is the homeless man with a sign asking for help sitting just below frame. This seems an appropriate summary of Chicago." The camera really is a far more limited instrument than we like to think.

I love your idea of going flying over that view. Perhaps I shall join you sometime.
