Context can play such a wonderful role to inspire warm memories.
Chicago is a place like that for me.
Last weekend, it took me back nearly a decade, personally and professionally, as I met-up with one of my closest friends who lives in the USA. We've shared business meetings, laughs, Rush St bar induced headaches, and friendship here. Still do.
This weekend, it's Mom who brings my childhood memories to the Windy City to accompany our shopping bags.
Tonight, as I stepped out of a crowded Chicago restaurant stuffed with pizza, washed down with a margarita, there was Sandra. Sandra from the Professional Women's Group of Zurich. I had to blink a minute. She said this week's boat ride that I missed was great.
My mind spun. Discussing a boat ride on Lake Zurich? Here on a hot steamy night in Chicago? Mom with a shopping bag standing beside me?
Wow. Chicago vertigo with no second margarita or jet lag in sight!
