Let's hear it for the kids!

Our daughters, KERSTIN and ANNIKA, took off on a Southwest Airlines flight for their first unaccompanied trip yesterday -- the pair flew to RENO, NEV., to visit their grandparents.
After their flight departed, JILL and I left CHICAGO'S MIDWAY AIRPORT, driving up CICERO AVENUE and then the EISENHOWER EXPRESSWAY en route to some shopping in SCHAUMBURG and then home.
To honor our kids, I played the compilation album "HOME SCHOOLED: THE ABCs OF KIDS SOUL."
Accomplished at uncovering the finest in rare soul, Chicago-based NUMERO RECORDS searched the record bins for forgotten children-fronted soul acts from the 1970s to create this compilation.
Songs such as "I'm Not Ready For Love" by Promise, "Now That School Is Through" by Cindy & The Playmates, "Can't Let You Break My Heart" by Quantrells and "Sweet Pea" by Altyrone Deno Brown provided a fitting accompaniment as a pair of slightly saddened parents made their way through Chicago.
The girls' flight was "awesome," according to Kerstin. They were even served Oreos on board the plane.
