Just *so* civilized

While The Diva lives in the "high hills of New England[,]" she's close enough to Manhattan for blue state math.

I live in Chicago's West Loop. Unemployment and fatherhood have done whatever the opposite of "wonders" is for my hygiene, etiquette, and commuting, so, even though you can hear the "guh-guh" of the city's heartbeat if you open a window, it's still a struggle to remain civilized.

But we still find ways in this house.

To wit: a photo ...

My wife calls this one "Happy Hour."
