Brightness

It's a nice day out, and I had to share with you this image. On the first 50-degree day in what feels like a thousand years, I was walking from the subway station to my office this afternoon. As I cross the Chicago River via the Orleans Street bridge, an absolutely incredible Jukebox the Ghost song is playing on my iPod, preventing me from doing anything but smile. Then I see the man playing on the bridge with a 4-or-5-year-old kid. Dad is flying a batman/spiderman kite, and son is spinning in circles trying to untangle himself from kite string and streamers. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and for just an instant, all is right with the world.

That's all.
