April 23rd

This week, Dylan and I visited with Jerry at his apartment for a little while before heading to Andersonville for lunch. We ate at a restaurant called Hamburger Mary's which Jerry had been raving about for the past few weeks. The burgers definitely lived up to the hype. One burger in particular was a patty in between two separate grilled cheese sandwiches....two of them. So as you can imagine, we enjoyed ourselves. Afterwards, we stopped by a few furniture shops and then topped the day off with very depressing visit to a pet store. Overall, I'd say it was a pretty successful day. However, there was a sense of sadness for the duration of our visit with Jerry. We didn't engage in our usual give-and-take comedy routines. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that it was our last meeting with him. Hopefully everything will be back to normal on Thursday. Looking forward to it.

This week was a sad week for the three of us because it was the last time we all could do something together aside from the final party. This week we were excited to venture to a restaurant that Jerry loves to go to, Hamburger Mary's in Andersonville. This place had exquisite burgers that you probably cannot find anywhere else. For instance I had a burger in between two massive grilled cheese sandwiches. After we ate, we decided to walk the huge meal we consumed off in Andersonville. Jerry always talks about the brown elephant so we stopped in there for a bit to look at furniture. After the brown elephant we went to a couple other antique shops and a "pet store", that did not bring us any joy... In the end it was a great day with Jerry but it was clear to see that he was upset that this was our last meeting. Since I will be around Chicago I believe that I will try to meet up with Jerry a couple times throughout the summer. I know he will be happy to hear that.
