It is the time of year when storms are common and we have one heading our way. You never know if they will strengthen or follow projected paths BUT you need to be ready so we have our water and have tested our generator. Now we wait.
Back to last week in Chicago-- here is a pic of an old friend of mine "Mel" from Baltimore. It is fun at these meetings to pick up with old friends and Derek liked Mel( He is a funny Guy) the Brian Setzer Orchestra played a private concert for us on Friday evening they were VERY GOOD
This is one of the cool buildings in the city...affectionately known as the "corn cob" -- it sits on the rivers edge and has parking on the bottom 3rd and then a multitude of balconies above. It was across the river from our hotel.
We had guests from China this week to keep up with the fever surrounding the Olympics. This was not a family of gymnasts rather some very good friends of mine that live there Teaching English in the University in the city Liaocheng (about 4 hours from the Olympics. On another note we are having Michael Phelps for dinner next Saturday.
.......ummmm..........Not the swimmer but the owner of our local bike shop.
