Thanks, Christine! Much appreciated. We did, in fact, have a lovely day of weather, but we had some shocking events at work today. First, there was a small fire in our new parking garage. It was quickly attended to (we're right across the street from a firehouse), and there was no damage; then someone's brakes went out will leaving the parking garage, and the driver hit a ramp railing. Again, no permanent damage, and the driver is fine. Then we had a bomb threat. While in one of the bathrooms, students noticed "this building will blow up today at 1:30 p.m." written on the wall, and, of course, reported it to the teachers, who called security, who called the police. Then the fire alarm was sounded, and we evacuated. The police and the canine patrol arrived in full force. I was in a meeting when the fire alarm, so once we learned it would be a while before we could return to our offices, we walked to a colleague's home two blocks away and finished up our meeting. My joke for the afternoon was "I think we've all had a little too much sugar today." So, there you have it! The Halloween of 2011. Big cheers, Christine/Chicago
