Woolly Mammoth

I think it's safe to say my favorite experience in Chicago was my stop at Woolly Mammoth Antiques and Oddities. Brittany suggested the place, man does she know me well. It was within walking distance of where I was staying, and I liked it so much I went twice. The fellow working behind the counter was kind enough to oblige my request to take a few photos. Here's a little walk through Woolly Mammoth.

I could have spent all day in this shop. But, I didn't have much to spend and I didn't want to over stay my welcome. So, I made plans to go back a second time (more to come on that). I did end up purchasing this little book, The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling. It's currently living on my nightstand.

Well, that's it for now. Next time I find myself back in Chicago I will definitely be heading back over to Woolly Mammoth.

ta-ta,

Ten Percent

Holy holy, here is the one hundredth post. I will honor the occasion by offering up my interpretation of the top ten percent, my favorite ten posts. According to the new Happy documentary, happiness can be increased by entering 'the zone' often. By writing these posts I've found myself in my own version of 'the zone' many times over. I know there are a few of you out there reading this, thanks for hanging out. And Stacey, thanks for the friendship, partnership, and motivation. Here are ten posts that have made me the happiest, in a random sequence.
