Happy Friday. Please enjoy this photo of @juliusljones gazing out of our office window at the people enjoying the beautiful weather outside.

This ritual marks the beginning of “Let’s Go Eat Lunch in the Park” season here in Chicago.

Wednesday June 5, 2019. Another beautiful day in Chicago...

This is clearly a thing for my fellow Assistant Curator. I don’t bother checking the weather now, I just wait to see if Julius does this. Monday June 10, 2019.

Wednesday June 19, 2019. “Idk if it’s raining or if this window is just dirty”

Friday July 26, 2019. It’s been a while, but he’s back at the window! Recently married (6.30) and consistently blazered, it’s Julius.

Friday August 23, 2019. We’ve got action! A brief peek outside while we listen to the NYT 1619 podcast.

Friday September 6, 2019. Caught him mid chat.

Thursday October 3, 2019. There was a brief glance today.

It’s been two long months. He’s fresh off of his birthday weekend and back at the window for the first time in 2020. (I don’t know how old he is, no one does) It’s snowing, he is not pleased about that so this glance was brief (hence the weird angle)

He was finally near a window! I very kindly asked him to take a peek outside. I don’t know if he knows why...
