Time to head home. I had brunch/lunch with friend Nick, and beforehand we found SUCCESS with the name board! (And by that I mean I found his name in about 45 seconds. Men.)

I then sent this picture to my new friend in Chicago, Alysha, found via Nick, who makes me so excied I could do a friend dance. Ever heard, from "Steel Magnolias", "If you don't have anything nice to say....come sit by me"? This is a true kindred spirit and I will document as we hang out in our shared city!
I also got to travel to and from Chicago, by luck alone, with a fabulous group of TFA/Lighthouse-ers with whom I had a grand old time. On the way to the airport, we found a wallet that had been left in the cab we were in. I impressed all (and creeped out a little, too) with my sluething skills of finding his home phone, contacting his wife and then getting ahold of him, which allowed him to get his wallet back. A feel-good story for the masses. Both the cab driver and my new BFF Jason called to say thank you more than once - and we laughed about it for the next 6 hours of intense air travel.
