Chicago Pizza

When in Rome

NFDA 2025

One of the best days on a convention floor, we rocked NFDA today.

Ocean Prime

Hands down, Chicago has some of the best dining in the world.

With the Irish

We arrived in Chicago just in time for an early brunch at the infamous D4 Irish Pub.  For me, that had to include fish n chips.  C'mon, you're in a Pub.

Smith & Wollensky

A visit to the convention hall to get registered and then walked  - seems like 10 miles.  In any event, we arrived for dinner at Smith & Wollensky.  This was a first for both of us and it was amazing - we'll do it again.

Find a Better One

Last day before we fly out to national convention, you can't find a better day this one.

Brisket for Me, Pork for Thee

Isabella and I having our favorite lunch. 

Road Hazard

The job description says travel.  This, this is a work hazard by the road.

The Fitting

It's official, she's family now.  We have introduced her to our precious alterations lady - that makes her family.

The Veil

A surprised Karley walks in to see the veil she wanted hanging and steamed.  It's getting real, ya'll.

No Supervisor

When you're on the road and there is no one to tell you, "no."  It's carrot cake every time.

Bell Buckle 2025

Our Bell Buckle visit was short this year.  Perhaps it was us, perhaps it was the venders but we didn't see a lot we needed.  Isabella did get fitted for an infinity bracelet and I found this enormous Tito's bottle.  I'd like to be the ole chap to drank it - if he can still stand.

Dog Trend

They talked me into it again, I see a trend developing.

Work View

Working in East Tennessee this week, my mountain work view beats yours.

Dear Lawd Above

Starting the get the guys sized up for the wedding - lawd above, be with me.  

Karley Says Yes to the Dress

What a special day and both Deborah and Isabella got to be there with her.
