Vanity creeps into our lives so subtlety. Or not. Leaving Chicago, I was distracted the entire ride on the Metra Train heading to my sweet sunny home in the suburbs. In front of me sat two chatty 20-somethings. They wove in conversation about guys, about how they looked, about how their friends looked, about how
