Wow! It’s finally starting to feel like spring. I can’t believe how long it took for the snow to melt! It was like it turned to ice! But now that the weather’s better, it’s time to make the most of it with a spring vacation.

The greatest spring vacation I had while visiting Chicago was pretty simple. A few friends and I took our time visiting the major sights, but really spent most of the break in all the great local restaurants. Boy, there sure is a lot of good food to choose from in Chicago! Great hot dogs, great pizza, great everything! Mmm, mmmm….

Some people, finding out that there isn’t an annual Ferris Bueller parade, need a little help finding things to do in Chicago. Like maybe sightseeing tours? That’s where Trusted Tours & Attractions comes in. This company can offer you discount tickets to the best tours for sightseeing in 23 cities nationwide. Discounts are especially important now that the economy has declared its turbulence to be real instead of imaginary.

We live in the future.

I recently visited IVF1.com, a site representing the in vitro fertilization (IVF) and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) center in Chicago and Naperville, Illinois. It is run by the Randy S. Morris M.D. He is a fertility specialist who lends his knowledge and expertise to couples dealing with the issue of infertility.

I have known about in vitro for a while now, and hearing it come up in conversation isn’t really surprising. But visiting IVF1.com, I suddenly felt confronted with a sci-fi dream come true. I really enjoy seeing predicted scientific achievements move from fiction to fact. Reading from the site’s home page, it’s almost mind-blowing. “Frozen Embryo Transfer — Did you now that extra embryos from an IVF cycle can be frozen for your own future use? Learn more!”

It’s just amazing. The things we can accomplish with our vast knowledge stores of technology and medicine. The limits to what is possible keep being pushed back further and further by our scientific pioneers. And Randy Morris M.D. is one of them.
