@cicerone imposter,
This will be the first time that we've eaten there since you and izzie were here two summers ago. It may also be the first time that I've seen jw since then. hmmmm.... have to think about that one; maybe we got together one other time since. Regardless, we're long past due to catch up and I'm looking forward to it.
CI -- I met a friend at the Botanic Gardens yesterday for a walk and lunch. I was reminded of that fateful train ride the last time you were here.
Train rides notwithstanding, I wandered a new area of the BG that I hadn't visited before. It was a lovely walk around the perimeter of the park and the new prairie areas and ponds. You should definitely plan a longer excursion to the BG the next time you're here.
map? Are you ok with SWK at 11:45ish next Thursday?
