Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.

Also, for the signing at Anderson's, if you want to have your book signed by Jim, you do need to pre-order your copy of the book from Anderson's. Which will then give you a ticket with the number you will be in line.

I'll be ten behind ya at 114, so not sure the chat thing would work across 9 other folks.  Maybe dry erase boards?  :D

We can pass notes!!!  We'll have to enlist the aid of our in-betweener.  Just hope we don't get caught...

True, but if you preorder, as Lany79 helpfully noted earlier (Thank you Lany!!!), they give you a ticket number.  I did mine over the phone and the lady, Amanda was her name, was very helpful.

I'm actually going to head up there sometime next week.  I want to scout the area again.  I always have enjoyed the Riverwalk when I went, but I haven't been up to that general area yet this summer.  I'm going specifically to hunt for the best parking spots.  It can get really busy in the summer time.  Mind you, the sights, both the 'Walk and the people, can keep you occupied.

The Anderson shop is actually located the next block over from the River Walk area.  Lots of places to sit, eat, shop, hang out and such.  A fun way to spend a day.

I have a job interview in Naperville on Thursday so I'll be able to scout out the area too - I haven't been out that way before.

You're quite welcome. I myself will be at #85. 
 
Early would be probably be best for anyone anyway. Downtown Naperville can be quite busy. Especially during rush hour.
