GETTING TO KNOW YOU
WENDY THOMPSON / 43 /
Civil engineer
WHY I’M TRAVELING / I’m going
home to Washington, D.C. I
just fi nished attending a big
furniture conference here in
Chicago. I’m trying to fi gure
out what to put in a new
building I’m designing.
NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT
I always have my Kindle. I
held off on getting one, but
I gave in a few months ago.
Now it’s indispensable. I
read a lot when I travel, or I
do sudoku.
I’D RATHER BE FLYING… / With
my daughter. She’s sixteen
and plays soccer, so we
travel all over the country
for tournaments. It’s fun and
I like soccer, but I’m really a
baseball fan.
