Hey all, just registered here after a couple of years over @marihemp. How many Chi-towners on the board? It's a tough town for a stranger (been away for a while) to hook up, but that isn't all there is to life, n'est ce pas? Maybe it's just me -- at 6'5", 275# with grey-ish hair (middle age is tough!) ya don't just walk up to your local and get served Thank god for good mail order

Chicago sure has changed in those years I was away -- really a beautiful place now!

Good to see a classical jazz fan on the board (Bonbon) -- going to jazz fest?
