October 6-8, 2000: Jim Morse & My Mom's Visit





On Friday, met Jim and my Mom at the train station.  Their train was 1 1/2 hrs late due to a derailment.    In the evening, we went to Rudi Frazules on Clark and Fullerton.   Jim paid for our meal, which was very  nice.   Then, we went to the movie "Almost Famous".     

On Saturday, we had breakfast at the Golden Nugget.  Then, we went shopping on Michigan Avenue.   We took the 'El' to China Town and went through the shops.   We had dinner at the Evergreen Restaurant.   

On Sunday, Jim, my Mom, and I went to church at Moody Bible which was near Lasalle and Clark.   It was a beautiful church.  The service was too long, though.    Then, we went to the movie, "Meet the Parents" which was hilarious.   When we got out of the movie, there was a big power outage in Chicago.  

All of the transformers were out at the train station, so no one was able to take their train out.    There were hundreds of people stranded.   Mom and Jim's train left about an hour late.
