The last thing I expected was to travel back to the states so soon after our move. By March there were enough loose ends to make it worth it. Between tracking down a 1099 form, issues with online banking overseas, reducing storages, rebuilding a new external hard drive under warranty, it was just as easy and cost effective to just come back to Chicago for a couple of weeks.

This also afforded me a chance to see a few friends and photograph a number of concerts keeping me from getting rusty. It looks like this might be a recurring thing. Special thanks to Tom, Beth and Ellis, Bob and Laura, Dan and June, Jeff, Shorty, Murph, and Paul for the immeasurable help.
