Let me tell you what the Internet is for.Right now, I’m in Chicago for the burial of my father-in-law’s ashes. He died last year, and today we buried him.<\/p>\n

We flew in Friday night, and having missed our flight at 6:00 Friday morning, would up on a oft-delayed trip back that got us into Chicago at 8:30 at night. We’d missed dinner with TG’s brother, and when we called her mom from O’Hare, she said we should just come over to her place and have leftover tempura.<\/p>\n

We weren’t very interested in that. Chicago is not known for its tempura.<\/p>\n

We wanted pizza. And pizza near her mom’s condo in Glenview.<\/p>\n

I have a Treo 650, and Yahoo Local has listings<\/a> for pizza places near TG’s mom’s place.<\/p>\n

So while TG rented our Mustang, I surfed the web.<\/p>\n

We scored a deep-dish sausage and pepperoni with extra garlic from Viccino’s on Glenview & Harlem. and brought it to my mother-in-law’s.<\/p>\n

It was excellent.<\/p>\n

And, my friends, that’s<\/b> what the Internet is for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
