Every year, the water in the Chicago River is dyed bright green for St. Patrick's Day. I had jury duty on Tuesday, and the fountain in Daley Plaza, where the court was located, was already blowing green.

I'm taking Amtrak from Kansas City to Chicago to see the Chicago St. Patty's Day Parade... where I and my friend will re-enact all the exciting scenes from the movie, "The Fugitive." ... With real guns.
