I took these photos in October. It was Columbus Day and I was going to my interview with CNN. I decided to have lunch by The Bean. I know it’s supposed to be called “Cloud Gate,” but c’mon. It’s a magical silver bean.

It was a beautiful day. I love those kind of autumn days. Crisp, but warm sunshine. Memories of days like that help me make it through the winter. I hear it’s supposed to be a bad winter, too.

Someone recently asked me if I have taken Charlie to The Bean. I realized that I haven’t. He would probably pass out with joy at the sight of it. I mean, who wouldn’t?
