Saturday coffee.

What a beautiful morning! Kind temperature. Blue sky.

We had coffee outside. Back at Letizia’s on Division Street in West Town. Outside means that Ulysses can join us.

Odd that Letizia’s still has pay-as-you go wi-fi. So many places provide it free. I’m glad I chose the iPad 2 with network access.

This has been a week of resistance.

It started with over 1,000 teachers surrounding the CPS board offices at 125 South Clark Street, protesting the huge salary bump for three-week-old CEO Brizard and the 4% cut-back in teacher salary.

Then there is the reoccupation of La Casita at Whittier School in Pilsen, where parents and students were promised the field house as a library and then they found the promise was broken by Mayor Rahm the Bomb


Old school.
