I'm only fortunate enough to be cradled in the arms of some ground breaking news because I felt his eyes last year at the Chicago Printers Row Book Fair.
At first I didn't get Chicago's (re discovered by him) Camp Douglas nor cared. Yes, me of little knowledge. However, perhaps due to the same shift in the wind that proliferates my city apartment sewer smell, I can use it to my advantage for feature articles and pitches. It is newsworthy (newsworthy events always being something I "miss" according to editors)because on July 2nd next year the Chicago Historical Society is breaking ground at 31st and Cottage Grove, to see what they can find. Laugh out loud, now there's so much I can write about it but I never suspected that when we met. Miracles. I told you, if you believe in them, that opens the door for them to happen all the time.
