Wore parka several times for the fireworks on Fourth of July

Cold has never been a problem for me. And I would love to see your Chicago, especially with the Obama Center open, but can't fly, too old to take the road trip.

Am southeast of Tucson now, and at a higher altitude so not as hot as in that now-huge city. Did rather like the 'Baked Apple' when I lived there years ago and it wasn't so big. Lots to do there, good music scene.
