From the Paper:

"It was the end of July in Chicago, the time when even the student's tinted sun glasses couldn't deflect the visibility of school over the horizon. It was also the time when children, teenagers' and families alike rushed and did what they hadn't had time for all summer. My girlfriend, Martha, and I didn't dissent from this group. We had packed our beach bags, with sun block and food, and jumped on the Metra. We looked quite peculiar with our swim wear on, in contrast to the eminent looking "suits" whose hundred dollar ties they habitually tightened every other minute. They were headed to Fortune One Hundred companies, where a full day's work lay before them, while my girlfriend and I were taking our long-awaited trip to the shore of Lake Michigan."
