Pleasant Surprise

Speaking of Labor Day weekend, a new friend from Dallas surprised me by swinging through Chicago on his way home from Abu Dhabi. Of course, I didn't take any photos with him because I refuse to try with the iPhone. But now I wish I would have snapped a few including: When I found him at Walgreen's with PopChips in hand, or when we ate Paddy's favorite, dates wrapped in bacon, at Frasca's, or finally when we enjoyed a bland cinnamon roll at MHenry - one that should have been much, much better.
