I'm definitely thankful that I've a sense of humour.

INDEED, A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR (EVN IF ITS QUIRKY OR DRY) IS A WONDERFUL GIFT TO HAVE - ESPECIALLY IF ONE CAN LAUGH AT ONES SELF.

Is that you laughing at yourself, Shamir Roshan?

Thanks for all the good ideas.

I had a great day and was able to enjoy Chicago's downtown. The Duke was closed and so were most of the attractions. I managed to make do though. First I slept in and missed the parade so I went for a great breakfast at the hotel. Went for a long walk down State and back. Read for a bit, then headed for the buffet at MityNice. Then a walk down Michigan window shopping and watching the lineups start for the midnight openings. The weather was grand and the people were friendly. I hope I get to go back soon.

Glad you enjoyed it. Please let us know when you're coming back and we can, hopefully, rally the rabble so we can have a proper get together. Given the holiday, we all seem to have been off at various family functions. Hope that you do get a chance to get back.

Best
