Egad -- one little finger slip on the keyboard and I am suddenly the 
topic of a DJML post. Of such instant celebrity comes fame I'd as soon 
do without.
It was, of course, to have been <public>...and now it certainly is. 
Thanks ever so much, Steve. I owe it all this celebrity to you <G>!

PS -- All I know about hookers in Chicago was that the small  Near North 
hotels were not called "riding academies" for nothing. Today they are 
refurbished into small, pricey, almost bed and breakfast inns and you 
have to arrange for your own hooker!
