The Chicago Auto show was.. well, it was less. Less than it was in years past, and less than you’d think was appropriate. <\/p>\n
Handful of nice broads.<\/p>\n
Partner and I and one of our college colleagues went downtown on the South Shore.<\/p>\n
Partner and I came back on the shore, our colleague stayed and met his daughter, and met us for dinner after.<\/p>\n

I’ve known him for 42 years, so I’ll interpret ‘The Look”<\/p>\n
‘Yes, this is the last time I’m coming into this godforsaken shithole. Unless of course someone decides to drop a nuke here, in which case I’ll run to the epicenter of the explosion, that I might be surrounded by people who believe they have something to live for, and drink in their final moments of despair like expensive French wine”<\/p>\n
