Chicago Land and Michael Jackson

The past couple of days I have been in Chicago, so I haven’t had time to post.  Just saw a great fireworks display. Must have walked seven miles total today, so I am tired.  I am always amazed at the ethnic diversity in Chicago, and how it all seems to weave together these days.

On an unrelated note, I am also amazed at the amount of attention Michael Jackson’s unfortunate death has been getting.  No doubt he was a musical genius, but it seems to me that so much more about Mr. Jackson left little if anything to be admired.  Why isn’t Farrah Fawcett receiving at least as much attention. She tried I am told to turn her cancer struggle into a positive teaching opportunity for the common good.  I am not so sure Mr. Jackson did the same with his struggles. He seemed quite a bit more into himself and his world.
