Gone With the Windy City

mcgillianaireI've just received confirmation of my trip to Chicago late next month.
On 16 March, in just over two-weeks, my dad arrives here in Montreal on his way to the Windy City for a sports medicine conference (I think!). While he's here we're gonna rent a car and make a road-trip to Toronto and Buffalo, NY. A week later I join him in Chicago where we'll rent another car and make road-trips to Detroit and Vedic City in Iowa.
Except for Buffalo and Toronto (though one-day hardly counts), these are all new places that I will be visiting. One-by-one, I am achieving my plan of visiting every major city in the US of A.

But in more depressing news and despite upgrading to the new version of Firefox... I restarted my computer only to discover that all my bookmarks had not only disappeared (again!), but the entire profile folder had also gone for a hike.
Luckily, having learnt from my first lesson, I started a process of backing up my bookmarks at regular intervals... only to lower my guard in the last couple weeks. What a bitch. On the one hand, the majority of my bookmarks have been recovered... but I guess it's a timely reminder to make sure I don't lower my guard again.
Not where information technology is concerned at least.
