Finally

I finally made it back from the mid-west last night, after being almost stranded in St. Louis for the weekend because of the lovely suprise ice storm in Baltimore. Luckily, there were seats available on the late night flight to Chicago, so I spent St. Patrick's Day with brunch at the Bongo Room, a few pints of Guiness at the Gingerman, dinner at the Greek Islands, and visiting with some of my favorite friends.

Thanks to Louella for hosting me at such a late notice and for the super early ride to the airport this morning!
