The Barry Table

It's about food, sure, but just like Barry tables across Chicago and around the country, this is also a place to share ideas, make plans for family reunions and boast about recent accomplishments, food-related or not.

Two Short Summer Vacations

Warm summer nights. Swimming. Not logging on.

I took two wonderful, albeit short vacations -- to Washington, D.C., to visit Sean (and my friend Mark), and to Los Angeles, to meet up with Nanette, who was working down there -- and now I'm back to the fog and sitting inside all day in front of a computer monitor. But they were great while they lasted.

Here are several photos of each trip. First is Sean in front of Great Falls on the Potomac, just north of D.C., then there are a couple of shots of us "swimming" and wading in the two-foot deep White Oak Canyon Creek in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. And then there's Sean in front of the DNC, a few blocks from the Capitol.

Then there's Nanette and me with from Runyon Canyon, up in the Hollywood Hills, walking distance from where we were staying with her friend David. The last shot is downtown L.A. from this canyon.

There are plenty more photos on Flickr -- DC | LA
