My wife and I have decided to take our soon to be five year old granddaughter to the Chicago Art Museum in early February when I go to Chicago for my shots. She has become quite the little artist as my wife tutors her, and I am excited as a grandfather can be. I have been to many art museums in this nation, and love them all but the Chicago Art Museum is a special place. I have not been in 15 years and now realize how special this place is.

To be able to see Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte simply gives me goose bumps.... then American Gothic, and the old guitarist, to be able to share this with a child who wants to be an artist.......I thank the guy upstairs for every day which allows me the joy to share such beauty with a child.......but in all honesty.......going up sears towers will be what she will remember this year.....but next year, and the year after........she will discover the utter magic of the Chicago Art Institute.
