It's probably because he's looking for the twistiest (is that a word? ) road he could find between work and home. Am I right? well, am I?

Well the main office is on the corner of Chaddick and Hintz and faces Hintz. I park on the east side of the main office, fourth spot in, assigned parking. What business are you at Mark? Oh and the name is Dan.

Francis does Daren Go to Hoffman? I thought you said she was at, can't remember the name 1-3 school?

She's at Henking now... they're sister schools. K-2 then 3-5 at Hoffman... I still don't get it. I'm used to CPS. K-8, then HS. so much simpler, not better, but simpler.

Too many kids in the neighbor hood now. That school isn't that big to handle all those kids.

I'm at DLS Electronic Systems, Inc on the West side Peterson (between marquardt and messner). Employee parking is in the back, i'm parked in back corner, the 2 spots furthest from the building, so my MINI is well hidden from the street... i'll have to look for you in the AM, i drive by on Wolf on the way to work.

Followed a VR/B MC from downtown to Oak Park on the Eisenhower yesterday. We separated as we both exited at Austin. We met up again and exchanged waves at an intersection near my house, it turns out that we live about a block apart.

Today @ IKEA Schaumburg I ran into Mr. Rich! No, not in my MINI, in the store. We chatted for a bit and then we parted ways. I went to the large window on the 3rd floor and I saw his MINI out in the afternoon rain. My MINI was not there as I drove the truck. I would have gone out and put a motoring citation on his MINI but the rain would have wrecked it.
