“My kind of town, Chicago is…” Well Frank Sinatra sang it, and it’s a nice place to visit, but I am REALLY GLAD I don’t live there! This past week made year number 6 for me working in Chicago.

The company I work for shows their wares at NeoCon, and me and my good friend John come in after all the furniture in the showroom is set up. We are the computer guys, so our mission is to set up computers all nice and pretty.

John has reminded me more than once that “it’s a good gig.” I concede that he’s right but having been a country boy for over forty years I am always glad to leave the noise. I mean hey, Chicago has a LOT of people!! More than thirteen I believe. And all the traffic and trains make for constant rumble. Nothing close to the congestion in New York mind you (I’m speaking from experience).

Although we work our butts off it really IS a good gig… we don’t eat McDonalds if you know what I mean. And over the years John and I have become very close friends. Pretty hard to beat that… we work very well together and seem to please the bosses.

I drove home today, very glad to be driving OUT of the city instead of IN; especially since the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and the whole town is going nuts with celebrations. So Dorothy, I totally agree… “There’s no place like home.”
