Hi everyone! I live in Wrigleyville and work downtown when I decide to not work from home.

Hi everyone! I live in Chicago, in North Center, and work in the northern burbs. Originally from Joliet/Plainfield, so I'm down around that way a couple times a month visiting family and friends. Feel free to add me!

I did this last year. It was fun - went out to a bar afterward and everyone was dressed up as Santa. Had to get out of there quickly and change - combine fatigue from the run, with alcohol, with a bunch of people all wanting to either sit in your lap or have you sit in theirs and things started getting weird, fast. Poor choices were ricocheting off the walls.

Still a good time though
