Many of you know that I support and do a fair amount of work with Family Rescue here in Chicago, a shelter for women and their children who are trying to escape abusive relationships. Not only do they receive shelter though, they also get job training and legal assistance. It's a great organization that could be 10 times larger and still not be able to service everyone who needs help unfortunately.
Anyway, their big golf outing in which I've participated for the last....12 years I think....is on August 27th, the day I need to be in Detroit for a big national softball tournament. And not just ANY softball tournament, the World Series.
Ugh. How narcissistic is it for me to ask them to move the event one week earlier? Probably no more so that writing a blog about what goes on in my life every day. :-) I do contribute a fair chunk of change each year though, so I don't feel too bad about asking.
ESDNM is in town so we called on some clients and met with a prospective client who runs a restaurant down in Lincoln Park. Afterward, we returned to the office to where the internet connection was down. That took about an hour to fix, but fortunately Ricardo dropped off ESDNM at a Starbucks near the office so he could get some work done and download emails.
After the internet got up and running, we headed to The Publican (in the west loop) for dinner with Ricardo and Ricardo's step-father-in-law (really, really long story). The food was good, sort of American tapas. We had: cured ham slices, fries with two sunny side up eggs on them (delicious!), smoked chub, suckling pig, coutry ribs and sweetbreads. All good stuff!
