A friend on Facebook asked me this morning to "like " Barack Obama. This whole notion of liking a politician, or any other celeb, takes the logical fallacy of Facebook a bit too far. However, since at one point in my life I actually had an opportunity to form an opinion about Barack Obama, I liked his page, and decided to share the personal essay which I wrote, some time ago, about that occasion.
When I left for Chicago to tour the different Frank Lloyd Wright's houses around the city, my husband reminded me not to forget the camera.
I had longed to see those houses ever since we moved to Iowa City, only four hours away. But with two small children at home it was not so simple to just take off and go. Then a friend suggested that we could drive to Chicago for a couple of days, to see Lloyd Wright's work especially. We could stay with her good friend whom she wanted to visit. The latter was in town for the summer at a home of a third friend who had just moved into town.
