Mar. 14th, 2004 09:04 pmLast minute dash to The Savvy Traveller. One of the TSA certified locks I bought was defective. Good thing I discovered it now! Unfortunately (?), I stopped to look at the 50% off book shelf on my way out of the store, and then wandered down the street to the Architecture Foundation shop. That turned out to be a good plan, because they had Gold Guides to Chicago in Japanese - so I bought a couple for gifts. And another architectural abecedarium - this begins to look like becoming its own genre!
On the "small world" front
I can't take the regular airport shuttle to O'Hare, because it doesn't run early enough (my flight is at 6:00 a.m.!!), so I called the neighborhood limo service, which I've never taken before. The guy answering the phone says, "Haven't we driven you before?" We figured out it was my mother he was remembering, "the Jewish lady with the Greek last name". Considering that she died nearly seven years ago, that was pretty impressive.
