Sounds like fun. I am working though. But it would have worked out otherwise. I could have seen Mom & Dad too on the trip. Niles, MI(M&D) is just a about 2 hours from O'Hare.

D'OH - no way I could make it Saturday (or Sunday) You ever try MD'ing in the area the city bought the houses out to expand ORD at some point in time. Last I heard the houses were still up but abandoned. Could be scattered old coins in the area?

Best of luck - hope the ground isn't frozen!
