Hi Jshugs
It is great to met another chicagoian. I would love to here about your writing or see some of your work. I am currently taking pics for some websites and chicago magazines and newspapers.
Check out my site drywatermedia.com

When i get around to it I will try to post some pictures here.

I would love to go to Australia I am so jealous that you traveled there. Tell me what you liked about your trip and what you hated.
