I love Chicago. StepD moved there in '03 and for a NYC born and raised BIC (Bronx Irish Catholic) I love Chicago, and still do. Was last there in late October.

I sure could use a "(very attractive) friend."

How to start over completely from scratch @ 56? (57 in three weeks.)

Oh, well. It will happen; it will make itself known

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
