June 30, 2001 I went to the Taste of Chicago with the family. We headed out on the 9:20am train to chicago. After we arrived at Union Station and made our necessary pit stops, we started walked towards the Taste. The weather was actually pretty nice…but we still stopped this pharmacy to get some water and some sun block. We got to the taste, and there was already a shit load of people. We bought out tickets, and we jumped right into the flow of everything. By the end of the day…we had our fill of food….we tried things from mango bbq shrimp, fried greed tomatoes, gyros, corn dogs, cheesecake, garlic break, crab rangoon, ice cream, and so much more. It was worth all the money that we paid… After out little stuffing fest…we walked to Navy Pier. The walk was definitely longer than we had thought, and in the heat, it felt even longer. We were probably walking about an hour and a half…But it was good exercise after all that food that we ate. We went inside to the mall, and took advantage of the air conditioning. Since we were just sitting, I took the chance to call Kevin. It was the first time that I had the time to, and I actually got him on the line. His line was busy yesterday night, and I wasn't able to get through. Kevin picked up, and we talked. He said that he was still bummed about the whole GAP thing, but he was getting better. It really sounded like he was crying when he was talking to me..but he claims that he wasn't. It was good to hear Kevin's voice, but it was sad because I knew that I wasn't going to be working with him anymore. I told Kevin that we had to get together sometime, and he said that since he wasn't working, it wouldn't be too hard to make plans…so I said that we would be getting together this week… I am really going to miss Kevin…he was one of favorite managers, and his presence will never be forgotten. The fam and I took a thirty minute boat tour of the Lakefront, and the breeze and mist from the ride felt so good. It was such a relaxing time…I didn't give myself the chance to worry about anything….it was finally a time for just me. But, once we docked, we figured that we should head back to the Taste just to make sure that we tried everything that we wanted to. So, we took a taxi back to the Taste, had a few more dishes, and then we proceeded to walk back to the train station. By this time, all of us were beat. We boarded out train, and with the exception of helping out these tourists that kept on talking to us…I slept the whole way home. My sister dropped me off at home, and I sat in my bed like a lazy bum watching tv. Later this evening, Tony gave me a call after he got home from work. After last night, I didn't know what to think…I was really devastated because I just didn't know where I stood in his life… I know that I wanted him to be my boy…but is that how he felt?!! We talked things out, and got things in the open, and I'm really glad because I now truly know that our feelings are mutual. We made plans to get together tomorrow after work…. I said that I wanted it to be just him and I…and he said that would be nice… We've either been with my friends or his this past week, and we finally get a chance to be alone together. I'm a bit scared because this is going to be the second time that it will be just him and I. I can't wait to see him tomorrow…hehe….
