This morning Chicago is gray with a damp chill.
Rain? Maybe.

Great party.
The kids came in from Brooklyn.

Even a couple of former administrators dropped by.

Wine flowed like wine.
Matt Farmer and Steve Doyle played a couple of sets of rock and roll. I got to sing backup to their version of The Weight.
