Bio
Google me ...and you'll find there are actually two Nancy Yos-es (Yos-i?). Kind of odd. I'm not the one who writes feminist things for the Oprah website, bless her heart. If you keep Googling, you'll find me in a few, a very few back issues of Commentary, First Things, and American Heritage, and in The Times of Northwest Indiana, The Shopper, The Southtown Star, and in a lovely, now-defunct magazine called Violet, which used to be run by jazz musician Charles Mingus' daughter Keki. Then I tried blogging. (Mom said I should.) I have five. Sometimes I cross-post to Chef's Blade and FoodBuzz, and I write at Helium. Find me at eHow, too, and I am the Chicago Baking Examiner for Examiner dot com. And oh, in between times, I got a job at a (now defunct) wine shop. That was fun. And, like geeky Miles in Sideways, ... I find lately I'm really getting into rieslings.

No doubt about it--a great city. Nice photographs.
Oh man I wanna go now!!!
Last summer we traveled to Chicago so the kids could go to Lollapallooza. We spent 3 days there and we absolutely fell in love with this city. While the kids did the concerts, we did the town. Great restaurants, great architecture and great people.

The kids are lobbying us relentlesstly for a return trip. Hopefully, we'll be able to pull it off.

Love the pics.
Beautiful city when the weather's nice.
My kinda town..... Chicago is.....
