Shira - thanks - but you're supposed to be getting some SLEEP!

Ha. I've been trying for almost two weeks to sleep when I should.

Sadly, my body, even when plied with sleeping agents, rebels.

Dame - Do you know anything about the "DAME tour" of Chicago that was mentioned earlier in this thread? People said I should look into it for my weekend in Chicago.

My best friend (aka FidoRock) took the tour when he was in Chicago last year and thought it was wonderful.

Maybe I have finally found my calling - tour director!!

Back from the burbs. My car battery died, but I was able to have it replaced without any problem.

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 6/22/06 at 1:49pm

brd... I've passed that tour on to several people. You should copy right (sp) it and sell it.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 6/22/06 at 2:47pm

Good idea!

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 6/22/06 at 4:22pm

I'll do the cover design...
