Welcome LPK! We're going to start an informal Mordant's Need group read and you're welcome to join in.
What part of the Chicago 'burbs did you live? I'm up in the far Northwest suburbs, myself.

Coolness. Well, next time I'm in Wichita, maybe we can meet up and have a beer. I usually am required to stop by Kirby's when I go up there.
My mom used to live in Schaumburg. Now she lives in Bartlett.
