On this trip I was also blessed to manage a visit with another great friend, Roni, who also used to work in the ad business. She and her daughter and I strolled her new neighborhood for a while and wound up eating at a local restuarant I was often taken to by NYC friend Anne Michelle when she used to live in Chicago. A bit of synchronicity at work. It brought back old memories and is now a symbol of the many supportive friends I have come to gather in the Windy City.
