It didn't take long for Deb to get the camera goin'. Too bad it was getting dark as we landed in the Windy City.
I spent last week in Chicago trying to figure out what needed to be done to get a job turned around. First order of business was to add manpower. Things are already cranked up & we should be back "on track" by Friday. I wanted to avoid that expression - this is, after all, a project for the railroad.
Flew home Friday night. Picked up a rental car Saturday. Filed our absentee votes. Packed up, drove to the airport (90 miles)on Sunday, flew though Nashville to Chicago. Landed at 6:30. Picked up a Chevy Tahoe at the rental joint. Drove to the hotel, unloaded the bags went to dinner, returned & unpacked & then CRASHED. Up at 5 this morning. Dog Tired today.
We're going to make the best of things. Chicago seems like a nice place, the people are certainly friendly, & we're going to try to see as much as we can, at least when I'm not working. We miss our beach, our palm trees, & warm weather but it is what it is.
I have no idea why this post is all underlined. I guess it's a technical problem. Whatever - the intent wasn't to stress any key points.

I've never been to Chicago, but I've always wanted to go. I hope everything is going well!
Hi Becky - It's going along OK. This weekend we're going to try to check out the city. We're "living" in Orland Park - a suburb of Chicago until things get wrapped up & I'm trying to cut as much time off the schedule as possible so we can get home. The timing was terrible & the fact that it was a panic situation didn't help in the stress level department. Deb is a bit frustrated - she was really looking forward to seeing the kids & wanted me to take a break from the crazy pace. Have a great day.
I hope you get some time to enjoy the city. I've never been there, but a few of my friends say it's their favorite city to visit. Take care.
WutzUp Heinous - We're going to do some of the touristy things this weekend. I've heard good things about down town so I'll let you know how the weekend goes. Have a good one - Go Penn State.
I so want to visit the Windy City and do an architectural tour. I hear it's heaven. What a great town, eh?
Hey Jen - Yeah the architectural tour will be on the agenda. I hear the Navy pier is cool. It's freaky seein' how big that lake is. Deb (my wife) will take pics & I'll post about whatever isn't work related. We plan to take the trains as much as possible - she's never been on a train.
