It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Chicago'istas/Midwest List, I sent an e-mail re: welcoming Shrift that doesn't seem to be going through so I'll just post it here:

It looks like Saturday is the consensus.

There hasn't seemed to be much of a preference on location, so while I love the Heartland Cafe may I suggest we go to Sizzle? [link] [link] If for no other reason than the Granville el stop is not nearly as sketchy as the Morse stop.

The 2nd link has a map. Sizzle is on Broadway, just south of Granville (just around the corner from the Granville Redline stop). For those driving, there is usually parking available along Broadway. I wouldn't risk parking in the Osco lot. Side streets have varying permit regulations - some restrict night/weekend, some restrict work hours - so be sure to read the signs.

What time shall we say? Around 7pm?

Count me in, aurelia. I'd been waiting to find out if I had to work on Saturday or not what I would put my bid in for. Turns out I am working Saturday, so it works out well. I'd love to try Sizzle, the idea of a tasting menu tickles my fancy because I'm so wishy-washy on choosing things at a new resteraunt.

Sail, do you want to crash at my place instead of doing another whirlwiind round trip?

Damn, I wish I could join you guys! This fall, definitely; before then, not so much.

We'll miss you, Kathy!

Sail, hopefully my e-mail will be working tomorrow. If not, I'll make sure you get my cell #.

Sounds good. Can you send your address, too? You gave it to me a long time ago and I'm not sure I have it on this computer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyway, Sizzle at 7:00 sounds good.

I did not, because that is the account that isn't working. I sent from [my.name] at gmail. Can you unblock it as the admin?

And Sail, I just sent a gmail to you.
