AT&T and Blogger Not Playing Well Together

Sometime after our last trip, at the end of October, and now, Blogger started having problems accepting mobile posts from AT&T phones. Until they get that bug worked out we won't be able to moblog :-(

Update! The AT&T/Blogger functionality is working again! We have decided, however, that it's probably a security risk to post to this moblog while we're actually away from home, so we'll be saving our posts as drafts and publishing them once we're back home.

Orchestra Hall

That which we miss most about Chicago! Right after we took this photo we were invited in for an open rehearsal. We went in and were able to bask in the beauty and wonder that is Orchestra Hall and hear the musicians warming up...alas, it would have been too long to wait for the performance, so we departed, but we are grateful for the brief, unexpected magical moment.
