Introducing the CARLESS Cast of Characters
(Photo: Who are these people I write about, anyway? Tai Chi in Nob Hill’s Huntington Park, on my April 2006 visit to San Francisco.)
It had to happen sometime. I’ve finally created a comprehensive list of the friends, colleagues, dates, and various miscreants I’ve featured here in the virtual pages of CHICAGO CARLESS for the past four years.
By now, the dramatis personae are numerous, and even some who appear regularly on this blog have had trouble keeping track of the backstory. So to help out readers–and, er, subjects–old and new, I’ve put together an A-to-Z guide to this blog’s ongoing Cast of Characters, with a synopsis for each and a link to a Google search that will pull up every CHICAGO CARLESS post where they appear.
If I’ve left anyone out, let me know. If you’d like to be left out, you probably should have remembered those three magic words my loved ones have come to rely on over the past few years…“Off the record.”
