Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Thanks! I was kind of kidding, but I'm glad to have it. We have a plane now, so I am cautiously optimistic. And the guy sitting next to me just farted. Ew.

thanks. The guy on the other side is carrying a floral tapestry JORDACHE hanging bag. The 80's are back, people!

I'm getting the pig!
Ack! I wished I'd checked this thread earlier.
Vortex, if you wind up stuck at DIA, definitely give me a call. I'm only about 30 minutes from the airport.
plane~ma!

Thanks for the plane~ma and good wishes. I'm finally home at almost 3AM. I'm exhausted, just sent the boss and email telling him that my happy ass will be in late tomorrow.

Just in case you didn't already know this: the best (really the only one that matters) boat tour is the one sponsored by the Chicago Architecture Foundation aboard Chicago's First Lady. And not just because there's a full bar on the boat.
I took that a couple years ago—it really is an amazing tour.

I took one of those tours (it left from the boatslip at the base of the Michigan Avenue bridge--is that the same one you're talking about, Laga?), and had a great time.
The Geoffrey Baer tour shows on WTTW (PBS) had the origination in that tour, IIRC--Baer is a docent with the Architectural Society, and the first of his specials was the boat tour. They've redone that boat tour show in the past few years due to the extensive amount of change that's happened on the river since that first special back in the mid-90s.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yes, Michigan and Wacker. It's been at least five years since I took the tour but it used to be an annual event for me and my friends.
