We went out last night in Chicago to Second City - like a comedy club. Very good night. Jane is cut out the left side, then there's Karla (who we stayed with - thankyou so so much!), Karen, Colette and Ann (who live around the corner from Karla in Wheaton - Karen's Contiki girls from last year). We love you guys - thanks for showing us around! Posted by Picasa
