Paul Kennedy, you are an evil, evil man.  Welcome back.  I thought that we
might be missing a certain Canuck element around here lately.  Oh, and I'm
sorry, does your city have a baseball team?  I forgot.

There's no tours at Wrigley at this time of year, unfortunately.  The
Friendly Confines completely shut down in chilly January.  (The mayor has
nothing to add.  Except that we don't know how to elect anyone but a Daley
to that office.  We spent the eighties just waiting for him to grow up.)

Matt, will, Paul, let me know if you'll actually be coming and I'll see what
I can do to set things up.

With Love and Squalour,
Cecilia.
