No worries!  I'd gotten information from the local news and
double-checked on the NASA Web site.  The news hadn't mentioned where
in the sky to look.  I managed to catch it.  Granted I forgot I had
key access to a building where I could get a better view of the
horizon... so I didn't have the key with me.  Thank you for looking it
up for me, that was really considerate!!

I had to pick it out from a bunch of airplanes coming and going from
Midway Airport.  The Monrovia group is right... it doesn't look like
an airplane if you consider the way it moves.

Very exciting!
