Not this year. No money Honey. Obama and Barney Frank made my boss poor when Bush lost the House and Senate. And the boss-man...he let us go.

Always loved going. Friday, Saturday and home on Sunday.
Stayed at a hotel that offered:
Free $30/$40 a day car parking under the hotel.
Free shuttle ever 20 minutes to and from Navy Pier.
A Saturday meal with the gang at Bubba Shrimp on Navy Pier.
And a trip to the top-o-Hancock Building.
One college girlfriend's dad lived on the 83 floor. Lake side.
Dad had two apartments and took the wall out for the art gallery continuation.
He lives in Miami now, 93 years young. She's in Boston.

If you plan to go this year let me know - [as a fellow Wisconsinite & CP19er] we'll have to get together and debate whether or not tis politicaly correct to have a beer while at the helm...
