Chicago is my “somewhere over the rainbow…a land that I heard of once in a lullaby” and a place where “the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.” Chicago is the Land of Oz a magical place full of color “where troubles melt like lemon drops.” As I follow “the yellow brick road” of life here, I have met some extraordinary people that have inspired me to achieve what I once considered to be the impossible…to all of my Chicago “Ozian” friends my endless gratitude.

Recognizing Christopher Merrill Web Design as The Great Oz of my domain, “a whiz of a wiz if ever a wiz there was…because of the wonderful things he does”
