My family and I are off to Chicago later today.  We will be celebrating my father-in-law's 90th birthday.   He has led such a rich life.  I love hearing his stories (occasionally he even has a new one!) and seeing some of his mementos.  One of my favorites is an actual arm band he removed from a Nazi soldier during WWII.  He does not want much, just his family all together.  Chicago is known for great restaurants.  Hopefully we will get to one this time!  

After that, we will make the short flight to The Big Apple.  Our son picked this trip.  He has never been there.  I have been there twice--each visit was one day.  The last time was nearly 20 years ago.  So in reality, I've never really been there either. We will do all of the tourist stuff.  Should be fun.  So I don't think I will be able to keep up with all of you for the next week.  Hey, maybe I can actually figure out how to Tweet!

Have a good week, classmates.
