Hi Tamar,

I see you are going to be in town on the 13th. You are going to flip out when you get there. The Monadnack Building is allegedly a landmark but what it mainly is is old. Slow elevators, dark hallways, company names etched onto glass doors. You practically expect Sam Spade to step out of one of them and say drop the gat, shamus. It's a pretty weird place. But cool.

If you would like to enjoy a nice downtown Chicago dinner afterwards, it will be my treat. Well, unless it's on FUDG's expense account, which if I remember right you know they have <lol>. The last time you spoke at FUDG you bumped me up to an Embassy Suites type place near O'Hare, with Nathaniel in tow. Practically broke the bank of our little user group. But you were worth it.

LOL LOL LOL

Over/under, how many think I am being serious? Relax, folks. It's just fun to play sometimes.

Say hi to Marshal for me. (He isn't coming on the trip, is he?)

Mike
