Now that the holiday season is almost behind us, it's time to start planning for warmer weather. During the icy months, you might consider visiting a garden show.
In the 1960s, when my Dad still was well, our family often visited exhibits and museums. It was not uncommon, for example, for us to go to the Chicago Auto Show. When President Kennedy visited Chicago in March 1963, my Dad took us to O'Hare International Airport to see him. When A Hard Day's Night premiered in 1964, Dad drove us downtown to see the movie at its first Chicago showings. He even took us to Soldier Field in 1964 to see a football game: now that was unusual.
