sounds like a close shave - don't keep us in suspense..! PS - did The Monster escape the casserole?

I love Chicago. I don't
have much luck at department stores. The people are never nice to me. I must have difficult or frugal(or both) written all over me. I can't wait to hear about your encounter. I hope you had a great trip, besides the incident. Take care

Glad you had fun here in Chicago. Now I'm curious about what part of "bumf***" you're from? Somewhere here in IL?
Be well,

Such an easy drift of the story and the language used, is very impressive. Also the subtleties of humor. Well, don't I have a lot to learn? Good job, all right.

My mother wrote some memoirs about Chicago in the forties. Amazing how much your description sounds like hers.

one of vancouver's cheekier street bums sat with a sign that read;
"please give money. i'm out of booze and drugs."

I assume that this is to be continued. In the meantime, are you buying cologn for The Monster too and if so, what kind?

*sigh*
your description of Chicago's shopping district and Magnificent Mile are making this shopaholic drool....don't worry, every department store comes with its own EH-it's required by the handbook.

This is building up to another winner I can tell.
I love Chicago Joe, lived there for a short time, like months, many years ago, like 1974.
I stayed in very old hotel right opposite the zoo on the lake.

I really am wondering....how do you get The Monster to do what you tell him? I'm still working on that one with Carl.

Is the EH's name Marshall Fields, by any chance?
And isn't the EH a stereotype? Are those PC police sirens I hear coming down Wacker Drive? Uh-Oh Joe Love is about to get Lower Wackered! Upper Wackered! He is Bottom Wackered for the count!
