Just back from dinner at Franco & Gianni's - last Italian "class" of this session ("class" is in quotation marks because we didn't actually do any work). Lovely food, lovely evening sitting on their roof deck admiring the views of the city, lovely conversation. Most of our class, plus Giuseppe from another class and his partner. Daniella brought a Parmegianno-Reggiano from Italy. Lots of other cheeses. Wine. Prosciutto. Melon. Good breads. Chocolate. I'm stuffed.

Yesterday was Printers Row Book Fair. Yes, I bought books, what did you think? I spent a couple of hours at the Chicago Hand Bookbinders table. I brought some of my books to show, as did Becky. Lots of people stopped and asked questions, so we may have picked up a couple of new members. It was an absolutely perfect day, weather-wise. Sunny and warm, but with a nice lake breeze. It could be like that all year and I'd be happy.
