Description
...Mark, those of us who know you, know you don't mind employing a bit of Chicago schtick (shtik) now and then.
...so to hopefully brighten your day with a smile, here is something from the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry to celebrate your day. Here is, drumroll please..., "For Mark ~ The End of the Line", in miniature of course. ;-)))
...still friends?
...may your day be filled with goodness, good health, hope and an abundance of light.
Bill

it looks almost like a city---it really does. Yes, Chicago Schtick is just fine! And I like "end of the line," because it implies a new beginning too. When I was a kid, the Museum of Science & Industry was about the greatest playground on earth (to us kids), and I suppose it isn't that now, because media, computers, iPads, etc, have taken over (at least for kids). But the tactile, hands-on sense of the place, the endlessness of the displays---they just went on & on & we never wanted to leave---and the "cutting edge" multi-media of the place was incredible. And I remember the model train set, bigger than anything we'd ever seen: I don't know if this is the same one, or built upon the old one; but it's beautiful. And you got genuine clarity, closeness, and a feeling of intimacy---in part from your angle and sense of museum light. (And the El platform sure looks like chicago!) Thank you Bill, it's beautiful & intimate and I so appreciate your remembering & honoring me on the day. That day I was awash in tax law, so believe me, seeing a huge beautiful model was perfect. After 3 hours of "amortization and accretion" (which sounds like a bad skin disease), this was beautiful. Thank you for your support, Bill, and your friendship, and your just plain class as a human being. Another thoughtful creation from you, and I thank you for remembering me with it.
I can't get over the detail in this set-up. A amazing capture Bill and I think that I have a video of a german set-up and I will forward it along if I can remember where I saved it!
