There’s a road I’d like to tell you 'bout,

Yesterday Mark and I rode with High Road Riders down and backup Lake Shore Drive on Chicago's Lake Front. Enjoy the Song Lyrics and some of my photos.

Aliotta, Haynes & JeremiahLake Shore Drive Lyrics:

There’s a road I’d like to tell you 'bout,

Lives in my hometown.Lake Shore Drive the road is called,

And it’ll take you up or down.

From Ratz on up to Riches,

Fifteen minutes you can fly.

Pretty blue lights along the way,

Help you ride on by.

And the blue light’s shinin' with a heavenly grace,

Help you ride on by.
And there ain’t no road just like it,

Anywhere I’ve found.

Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive,

Headin' into town.

Just slippin' on by on LSD,

Friday night trouble bound
It’s starts up north from Hollywood,

Water on the drivin' side.

Concrete mountains rearin' up,

Throwin' shadows just about five.

Sometimes you can smell the green,

If your mind is feelin' fine.

There ain’t no finer place to be,
Then runnin' Lake Shore Drive.

And there’s no piece of mind or place you see,

Ridin' on Lake Shore Drive.
And there ain’t no road just like it,

Anywhere I’ve found.

Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive,

Headin' into town.

Just slippin' on by on LSD,

Friday night trouble bound.
It’s Friday night and you’re lookin' clean.

Too early to start the rounds.

A ten-minute drive from the Gold Coast back,

Makes you sure you’re pleasure bound.

And it’s four o’clock in the mornin',

And all the people have gone away.

Just you and your mind and Lake Shore Drive,

Tomorrow is another day.

And the sun shines fine in the mornin' time.

Tomorrow is another day.

(whoo.)

And there ain’t no road just like it,

Anywhere I’ve found.

Runnin' south on Lake Shore Drive,

Headin' into town.

Just snakin' on by on LSD,

Friday night trouble bound.

My Walk In Winter Wonderland Today

The path to somewhere and back again in winter wonderland. Today for the first time in months I decided it was time to start walking. The temperature was 11 degrees, the sun was shining and the sky was bright blue. I was reminded how much I love walking and don't mind the cold weather when dressed properly. I had on my new long underware, 2 pairs of winter socks, heavy boots, flannel lined jeans, fleece shirt and hooded sweatshirt. I was warm the whole time I was outside. The only thing missing was a hat and something to cover my nose and mouth. I am officially a heart patient, the cold air was a killer. On Friday I have to get to the sports store to get a hat and mask.

Here are photos of my walk

Downtown Chicago

Our day in Millennium Park on the lake front in Chicago at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Bean.
The Symphony Orchestra was practicing at lunch time. I am amazed how great the sound is out in the field under the speakers. Click on the video I did with my camera.
