Week 2,

Our plans of going furniture shopping did not work out as planned. Jerry did not want to venture out into the cold if he didn't absolutely need to. Even though we just hung out at Jerry's house we shared a lot about ourselves this week. Jerry had many more interesting stories to share with us. One that I found intriguing was the time he spent at Woodstock. I love music so I had to know who he went to see. I soon learned that Jerry was there about four days and say Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones... and so many more. They way he spoke about it was a similar way that I would speak about lollapalooza. As we continued our conversation, it moved towards literature and art. Jerry has many relief prints throughout his home which I told him was my girlfriends main medium. So Jerry, Alrik, and I went through Cari's art. Jerry loved it and I told Cari that he was interested, she has asked me to give him a piece of her art to have. I know Jerry will be excited for this. After we went through her art, Alrik and I went through our pictures from Istanbul and told Jerry about all the things we had seen. Specifically, we shoed Jerry a video of a riot that we caught in. He laughed about it and said that he was sure that was an "experience". This week we spent a little more time with Jerry's partner Jeff and learned about his love for singing and that he used to participate in the Windy City Men's Gay Choir. Jerry and Jeff plan to go to the next show when they are able. As for the week after spring break, we plan to go to Tre Kroner to grab some Swedish American food with our old Sweed.

Till Next Week,
