Here are some other Web Sites that may be of interest:

  • The Morton Arboretum
    This arboretum has brains as well as beauty! It has been superb resource for our home landscape and another great place to show out-of-towners what Chicagoland has to offer.
  • Brookfield Zoo
    My earliest memory of Brookfield Zoo is being in a baby stroller ing controlled by my father. (Bumping down steps was a little worrisome.) The zoo is fantastic year round!
  • The Slug Site
    A few years ago, I found a haiku by Shiki:
    • Doing nothing at all, the sea slug has lived 18,000 years.
    I had no idea what a sea slug was, but an internet search solved that by leading me to this wonderful site.
  • The Other Pages
    My mother, who had a fantastic memory especially for poetry, was struggling to remember who wrote the poem with the line:
    • Old parson, red-eyed as a ferret
      From nightly wrestlings with the spirit;.
    Thanks to this site, I found it. It is The Everlasting Mercy by John Masefield.
  • Chikuzen Studios
     Michael Gould is a master shakuhachi player and teacher. Here is a google map for a trip that Michael Gould organized.
  • College of DuPage
    This community college is where I've studied graphic arts, advertising, design, art, photography as well as Japanese language. They also have a excellent center for the performing arts. We saw Kodo there who literally brought down a ceiling tile!
