By the way, thanks are due to Kaybo and Dave who picked up the tab for that HUGE celebratory glass of wine, and to Cheryl R for gifting me her 10% discount card at Bloomingdales, which almost offset sales tax on my trendy new chapeau. Which is pink but not knit.

And of course to Lilan for doing the legwork for our Thursday dinner!

 Sara, Plus I was the one who egged you on that you looked very nice in the pink hat and  needed to get it.      It fit your face shape very well.             I am glad there was a picture of it on you.                                   I am not thrilled over my pictures as I get a puffy face easily when tired and on the go and it is showing up too well.                I am plump but not always so much so in the face.      Will add one sometime if can get a good one.               
                                                                                        Cheryl R
Right mid fossa 11-01-01
  left tumor found 5-03,so have NF2

   CSF leak revision surgery 4-07-06
   left mid fossa 4-17-08

Per Lilan's request:

Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

In some of the pictures I am labeled as Tim M. .

Actually I liked that your wife called you Timmy on numerous occasions.  I thought that was very sweet  ;D

Thanks to all for the wonderful pictures - the Chicago skyline is incredible; could be a postcard shot.

Just for clarification, the BMW is not mine - probably belongs to the wife or girlfriend of some rich doc who removes ANs for a living - I drive a Ford minivan  :'(  but I'm hoping for a Jaguar before I die  ;D

Steve, started on that pink hat yet???  :D

Lilan~
I thought that i commented on your post - I guess it didn't go thru!  I must have missed the squirrel joke...
I wanted to tell you that i was sorry that I missed talking to you Saturday night...didn't make it to the reception and then bolted out to the Ladies room as soon as I could at the end of the "Gala" - it was great to meet & chat with you Thursday!

Sara, you look great in a pink hat. Point taken.  :)

Also glad to see the pic of Sharon (next to me) in Kay's lunch bunch, and a shot with Cyrilee smiling.

I was a little worried by the Three Musketeers being together, but did not have to call Phyl to bring her bull whip. Lori, I wish you had been there longer.

Bullwhip was ready and available, should the need be there! :) Trust me on that one! ;)

Great skyline pic of Chicago... exactly what it looked like circling in the airplane as well. Fab pics!
