Basking in the Sun

Let's face it, one of life's simple pleasures in lying in the sun on a hot summer day in July. This gentlemen has it going on: The towel behind his head, the sunglasses slightly askew, and dressed in white head to toe. All serve to emphasize his deep tan. He is gracing one of the new lounge chairs that line Navy Pier. Yes, there is nothing better than lying out in the sun on a hot summer day in July.
Blues in the Schools

Each year, a group of elementary school students shows attendees of the Chicago Blues Festival what they have learned. Whether or not the next Muddy Waters, Lonnie Baker, or Guy Clark Jr. emerges from the program won't be known for at least a decade or two. In the meantime, the kids are having a rollicking good time. If nothing else, I suspect we will see many of these kinds in the audience in future years.
