Back from Chicago from a medical trade show business trip, and what a great city to visit. I definitely need more time to see all the sites, but I enjoyed dinner at Carmine's (Authentic Italian) www.rosebudrestaurants.com complete with a multi-lingual piano player in the background. Another wonderfully delicious restaurant is Devon Seafood, www.devonseafood.com. Everything was cooked to perfection and the Almond crusted Tilapia was prepared with the finest ingredients. The Palmer House Hotel www.Hilton.com is a gorgeous old hotel and Miller's pub next door is a great little Irish pub for some authentic cocktails. The McCormick Center is a huge convention center and it's a great ride along Lake Michigan. The week I was there was a huge organized effort for the ONE campaign and 23 million people stood up and were recoded in the Guinness Book of World Records of the most people standing up for one case, to end poverty worldwide. It was great to see and even though I was there on business I was there in spirit www.one.org/node/202. It's amazing what the power of ONE can truly do. With so much affluence in this country the resources need to be allocated. It's time people are dying and need help and the US has the funds to do it if they chose to, just starting with getting at least 1% ($25 billion) of the US budget on the books to show they commit to ending this. We'll I don't have too many political views but this one is very worthwhile. I'm going to run but I'll chat again lata!
