Saw this in person at the Field Museum in Chicago. Nikki was going to meet me close by (she lives in Indiana), then we were going to go up together and be goofy and laugh and enjoy the whole day. We haven't seen each other in at least two years, probably more.

Unfortunately, she had a bit of car trouble, and had to go back home. Turned out it was just a short in her dash. She was bummed...her husband, Brian felt bad (thanks for helping, Brian), and it wasn't the same without her. I left not soon after..feeling tired, a bit depressed that I was there and she wasn't, and all the school kids were driving me crazy.

Anyway, we WILL get together sometime in the near future, Nik...I miss you too, darlin.'
