What a Worthwhile Trip!

I was debating on whether or not to go to this. I would feel really out of place or would feel really comfortable. I ended up feeling the later. It's interesting how everybody has changed, but yet have maintained some of their characteristics: Ira Penner and Steve Klawans still have their witty sense of humor; Omar Sotelo still loves movies; Alexandra Delgado is still gorgeous; Lynne Rotberg (sp?) still has that "down to earth" quality; Lauren Kurtz is still outgoing; Nigam Patel is still incredibly smart; Aaron Lopata still smiles no matter what, etc.

It was also nice to be back in Chicago after 6 and a half years. Thanks to this reunion, I went back and gained 4 pounds going from pizza joint to pizza joint (they don't have good pizza in California..or good Chinese Food). I walked around Skokie a lot and even though the place changed, it just felt like "home." It was like my moving to California was just a bad nightmare and Chicago is where I really belong.

I know I'm going off here, but I'm really thinking of going off the deep end, quitting my day job, and then going to Chicago for a month to find a job. I can't take my golden retriever with yet, so I was wondering if anybody "just happens" to want to stay in a lovely, beautiful, amazing apartment for a month, completely free, provided that you take care of the dog. It's in Torrance, California (very close to LAX). He's a great dog..just requires a lot of exercise and attention. I thought I could post this question here since I trust most of you. If interested, email me at ph6138@aol.com. But feel free to email me anytime. Anyhow, I hope everybody has a safe, happy summer.
