Thanks JH -- I've spent a couple of months unconnected to the cyber-world. It's been good for my head, but I guess I'm emerging from my self-imposed electronic exile, and in fact I just visited the AG site yesterday. I live in the Boston area, so Chicago is not part of my usual itenerary (in fact, I've never been there). I may be doing some traveling soon with my daughter, who is looking at colleges for next year; she hasn't applied to anything in your area, but one never knows. If I end up heading out that way, I'll see if I can make it to this event.
