Sounds like a good trip. I think meals with family can be some of the best reasons to travel. And the trains were on time, even in Weather? Excellent.

Poor, abandoned kitty. So sad.

I'd forgotten that you were from the Chicago area, too. I'd heard about the Bagel's closing. I still remember when Barnum & Bagel on Dempster closed, though I saw their soups in the freezer section at the store for a time.
