I'm really enjoying exploring the area – it definitely has some fun hot spots! It's been a great year-and-a-half being back here, and a lot has happened. Upon moving back, I started a new job doing investor relations at Grosvenor Capital Management, L.P. (a fund of funds). I work with a great group of people and have learned a lot, so overall I'm enjoying it very much. Last February I had the chance to visit some Parker friends who were living abroad in Croatia. It is a beautiful country, with a lot of really rich history. Although it probably wasn't the ideal time of year to go, it was an awesome adventure nonetheless. Later in the year, my brother, Brad '00, got married in Napa, California. Fellow alumnus Eli Cutler '00 stood up at the wedding and helped celebrate the whole weekend. Brad and his wife Natasha live in Gramercy and plan to stay in New York. We miss them but fortunately get to see them often. The rest of the year was somewhat low key . . . lots of hanging out, cruising around Chicago (I especially love walking around the Bucktown area), and going to fun restaurants (current favorites include La Madia, Wakamono, Prosecco, the Grocery Bistro, Mercadito...), etc. All in all, life is good! This upcoming year promises to be quite busy with travel, mostly on account of friends' weddings. I still can't believe we're entering that stage of our lives! It's crazy but a lot of fun. I hope all is well with the rest of you too." Anthony Jason Venturini writes: "Not married, no kids, travel often, just got back from the Philippines.
