A tender moment at McDonald's

I'd be remiss not to post this photo. There was a tender moment between a pair ahead of my wife and me in line at the McDonald's Express in McCormick Place this afternoon. I like to imagine that the two hugging here were strangers and that their mutual love for Chicken McBites and Shamrock Shakes brought them together at last.

Midwinter Meeting 2012: Lunch at McCormick's

As you can probably see from the photo above, I've secured my wife's iPhone for the next however long and thus have a camera to assist me in my current live blogging adventure covering the 2012 Midwinter Meeting in Chicago. The above photo was taken while waiting in line at the McDonald's Express on the second floor.

Here's what I had to eat, in case you're into that kind of thing:


I know what you're thinking: That's a lot of calories. But if you've never been to McCormick Place, you should know that saying the structure is huge is an understatement. I needed the McDonald's calories just to keep from passing out after burning so many on the walk just to get there.

Incidentally, does anyone else think calling a McDonald's in McCormick Place "McDonald's" is a missed opportunity? They should call it "McCormick's" or something.
