Last night was the 2nd Dinner at DebS. There were 8 guests and three of us. It went pretty well, I think. We had a multi-generation group, WWII, Boomers, Gen X, 30-somethings, and one teenager. I have been worried that these smaller diners might get awkward – this one had a few moments, but overall […]
My spring break week wasn’t much of a break. Monday was my first day back after PLA. Tuesday I had to do a webinar – and it was John’s birthday. Wednesday I had to appear in court for my failure to remove snow ticket. Thursday I had two meetings – both of groups that I […]
Back in February, I, as the landlord, got a failure to remove snow ticket for my rental – the supper club house – that I’m morphing into Dinner at DebS. The court date was today. My renter Stephen, who does the shoveling, came along. We actually had kind of a good time; Stephen, who’s been […]
So when we got here, the librarians were sharing the conference area with dishwasher soap salesman – EcoLab. Now the Big 10 tournament folks are coming in – I think I waited in the Starbucks line with Penn State staff this morning. Starbucks in the Onmi Hotel, so one of the nicer hotels, and there […]

Or maybe week & a half. We’re talking about last week – March 3 – but this week – March 10 is also in the running. Everything is wasn’t, didn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t, can’t. I think everyone – or at least John and I – are stuck in the end-of-winter, time change, feel like it’s […]
I’m late getting this posted, but I still think it’s a good story …. Last Saturday, in Chicago, we took the Lake St. L downtown, heading for Navy Pier to use our half-price tix to Chicago Shakespeare’s Gypsy – Chicago Shakes, as they call it. The show was at 8:00, so we left Oak Park […]
… to O’Hare. Our AFS student signed up for a trip to California, and was required by the travel service to fly out of O’Hare, so rather than getting up at 3:00 AM to get her to the airport in time for an 8:10 Saturday morning flight, we drove down on Friday night, and got […]
