I recently signed on with an online writing company to see if I could contribute an occasional vignette to review some points of interest in Chicago. I have the time and the pen but they rejected my offer. They tossed me a softball excuse like "we have so many requests for this position" yadayadayada. It boils down to them not liking my writing style. Am I disappointed, NO, will I keep writing, YES.
We went to the Pilson neighborhood today and visited the Mexican Fine Arts Museum. They were highlighting the "Day of the Dead" which is celebrated Nov. 1 and 2. They feel that every year their dear departed come back to life in their hearts if not in person. They display the departed's favorite foods and hobbies with many pictures to surround the display. In a way we probably all have done this by visiting our parents gravesites leaving flowers and speaking to them. I haven't gone back for several years but I am going to do it soon.
