We’re back. We’ve returned to the “spring tundra” of Chicago after spending nearly a week in paradise (a.k.a. Turks & Caicos). Eighty-five degree days full of sun (or partly cloudy on “bad days”) set the stage for the most relaxing week we’ve had in about as long as we can remember. Alas, we had to …
