It's the small things

Coming off of a really big, exciting weekend for me at NAMM (as well as a secret audition that I'm actually legally not allowed to mention right now.  Sorry!), I thought I'd take a moment to talk about the more everyday kind of stuff.

Gigging around Chicago using public transit means I do a lot of waiting around.  One benefit of this means I get to notice a lot of small things around the "L" and bus stops that I frequent.  Here's one brief example:

Check out this photo:


This is a pic of the stairs and escalator ascending out of the North/Clybourn "L" stop.  Other than the fact that it's pretty long, nothing looks that strange, right?

But wait...look closer now.


Holy Cow!  That's the narrowest escalator I've ever seen!  

Yes, that is a picture of my shoe, and yes, I may have big-ish feet.  But seriously, have you ever seen such a crazy sight?!

OK, maybe you have.  Maybe you've actually seen WAY more crazy stuff.  And OK, maybe I have too.  But hey, waiting around for the same "L", week after week, you really learn to appreciate the small things.

I hope I always do.
