Things I learned at the Ronald McDonald House Charities International Conference in Chicago last week:
- Australian currency is made out of a fabric that you can't tear.
- The Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor has the best lobster bisque I've ever had.
- You can buy an original Dr. Seuss painting for $30,000 on Michigan Ave.
- There are fireworks at the Navy Pier that explode in the shape of a heart.
- The Chicago Marriott downtown has truly comfortable mattresses.
- It is a small world. I met a girl from Springfield who knew my sister-in-law.
- The Field Museum is a breathtaking place to visit.
- Nights are eerily quiet without my four kids around.
- It is possible to gain 5 pounds in 4 days from the chef's cooking at the Marriott.
I had a great time and learned a lot from the conference that will help our local organization. This week, it's back to the grind and gearing up for moving into a new house. The next couple of weeks promise to be very busy . . .

The currency in Nepal was the same way when I lived there. It always baffled me as to why a third world country had such advanced money technology when some didn't have running water?
