Wayne and Erika Pfeiler

Tuesday was windy and bitter cold. The news said the wind chill made it feel like negative 15. I was cold. Apparently it was also a municipal election day, and the media was concerned the cold would reduce voter turn-out. I thought Chicago natives would be used to the weather! I spent most of the day at the ORS conference, then I met up with my professor, Elizabeth Loboa, and her friend Elise for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. When we got there we met with Al Banes and his wife Beth. Dinner was good, but we had a wait a while to get a table. The AAOS conference was starting the next day and so there were orthopaedic surgeons everywhere.
