Final Chicago thoughts

As I have not seen a newspaper or watched much news while relaxing in the windy city, my readers have been forced to endure my Chicago postings of late. Here are my final thoughts on my visit to Chi-Town - two last words.

First, I was proofed before being served a beer! I love it!! I should remind you that I am a balding forty-one year old. Ok, so it is the law here. Can we pretend?

Second, I am just in from meeting the illustrious Mrs. Shakes and her husband, er, Mr. Shakes. I must say they are both engaging, witty and fun to be with, and were the perfect cap to a wonderful trip. Very cool to have made your official acquaintances, Shakes duo!
