Thanks, Christine. That was a great way to recollect my fresh memories. 
But I am thinking that I swore in English really, and that I used the 
f-word... How otherwise you would have understood that I swore? ;-)



1) You can always tell when someone is swearing even if you don't know the 
language.

2) You shouldn't read the story so literally  :-).

 Now that work has let up, I'd like to share a few thoughts.
 
 1) I'd like to say big thanks for all the kind words about the exhibit and
 reception etc.  I'm glad everyone had a good time and is generally pleased
 with the gallery.  Just a FYI, two colleagues from work went to DANK last
 Thursday.  They had nothing but great things to say about the pictures they 
 saw.
 
 2) My husband, Darrel,  I did our best to get our friends and family out to
 help support the exhibit, and a good many of them showed up, which was
 great, but at the reception we received sad news about a dear friend, which
 put the two of us on the edge of tears, but we were able to rally back.  Two
 of my oldest girl friends came in from the far northern suburbs, and
 visiting with them led to giggles and stories from memory lane--a lot of
 those stories I'd like to forget.  And work colleagues came, and I suspect a
 few more will go in the weeks ahead.  My mom and dad came, and I had to stop
 my mom from walking off with one of the PDML annuals.  She thought it was a
 give-away.  My sibs came; the only one that didn't show was my eldest
 nephew, but since it was his prom night, I didn't make much of a fuss over
 his no-show. He sent me a text message, have a good time at ur thing
 2night.  Darrel  I didn't leave DANK until maybe 1am.
 
 3)  Then I got up to meet folks at the Art Institute, which was a great idea. 
 At the Eggelston exhibit, Chris Mitchell was bombarded with questions from a 
 woman who self-identified herself as someone who doesn't know anything about 
 photography.  Chris found himself explaining depth of field and why there was 
 more of it in some photos and less of it in others.  I'm happy to report, 
 Chris was courteous and patient.
 
 4) After the Art Institute, Boris, Jostein, Sasha, Larry, Miserere, and I 
 went to the Russian Tea Room, but before going, Boris and Sasha argued about 
 which Russian Tea was the best, and it ended with Boris swearing at Sasha in 
 Russian. Everyone agreed that this little set-to made our Russian lunch more 
 authentic. We let the two Russians pick our after lunch tea.  Boris said it 
 was too heavy on the smoky bit and too light on the black tea part, but he 
 said the food was good, so we all decided we liked our lunch.  At lunch Sasha 
 showed us some of his prints which were great, and we had a look-see at 
 Jostein's photo book from Antarctica, which was great as well.
 
 5) After the Russian Tea room, we just romped in the park a bit, then it was 
 time to eat again--this time pizza, which was good, and it was fun to visit.
 
 6) After pizza, good-bys were said to some, and it was another romp in the 
 park for others, but folks complained the music was too loud, and we headed 
 for Miller's Pub--finally, a chance to relax.  I had a very stiff scotch, a 
 few smokes with Doug, and conversation with any PDMLer who was willing. Then 
 the calling hour came and my last good-by was to Miserere.  The PDMLers were 
 gone, and I was alone.  I moseyed back over to the Art Institute, sat on the 
 steps, and called my husband.  While I waited for him, a woman walked by with 
 her dog.  It was a handsome dog.  He sniffed about my shoes.  I asked the 
 woman if she knew the time.  I asked for the name of the dog--Spot something. 
 Some comments about it being a nice night were exchanged, and soon the two of 
 them strolled off.   I then began to wish for a tripod.  Had I one, I would 
 have taken a self-portrait of me alone on the steps of the Art 
 Institute--hell, I'd come full circle, hadn't I?

What a  nice report, Christine.  

Didn't know there was now a Russian Tea Room in Chicago . Wish I'd 
chatted up Darrell more, too.
And met your parents -- though maybe I did - things were blurry that 
night and I dont even drink.

DO I SEE A NEW REALITY SERIES HERE?

Oh my god, if the world is happy to waste it's time watching The Amazing Race,
The Bachelor, Fear Factor, Survivor, wait until they see:

Tom Van Veen's Wedding Photog Diaries!

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go to the fridge for another beer.

What piece of equipment will be dropped this week, and by whom?  And, on what
body part?  Who will Tom's assistant be this week, and will she go home with
him?  We know the bride will get drunk, but who else in the wedding party
will?  Will the parents or other family members feud?  Will they remember to
feed the photographers, and if so, what will they feed him?

Watch as Tom rushes home (alone, or not, who knows?), to tell his PDML friends
of his horror story!

Or, you could do it like those semi-documentaries that I've seen on I think
it's the Life channel, when I'm over at someone's house who has cable.  Like
We're having a Baby', or We're Getting Married, or whatever.  My ex-wife
loves that crap.  Whenever I'm over there, and she watches it, it reminds me
why I left her.  But, I digress...

Tom, I think you've got a series in there somewhere.  This is your ticket to
riches, and I want a cut!

cheers,
frank

 Tom,
 You need to have a video camera trained on you at all times while working.
 I'd certainly buy the TV version of funniest home videos.

You're a former lawyer, can you write something up for me?
