See: Cubs banner in the coffeeshop window
Smell: Freshly cleaned apartment
Hear: Rumbling of El trains overhead
Taste: First-night-in-town dinner courtesy of A’s sister and brother-in-law last night (including this chicken and these brownies)
Feel: Sun-warmed steering wheel; air mattresses while we wait for our beds to arrive
