Lunch Break Sketching 2 Today's lunchtime effort was more focused on a smaller section of a building, but it was also done in a shorter time frame. I had to buy my lunch today, so there needed to be ample time to attend to the belly. Still, it was a great break in the day. I find the…

Ill. Gov. Blagojevich threatening huge budget cuts
With an Illinois senator on the November presidential ballot, any state story becomes a national story. Especially when it involves our governor, Rod Blagojevich, who had even closer ties to Tony Rezko than Barack Obama did. Blagojevich, a Chicago Democrat, is believed to be under federal…

Clueless
I'm embarrassed to admit that I spent a night at the epicenter of a disaster and never realized it. I knew that a lake in Wisconsin had burst out of its walls and disappeared but I didn't listen carefully to which lake. Off Interstate 90 you can't see much flood damage and we went straight to…

Things are starting to heat up...
Canes signed Tuomo Ruutu today to a one year $2.25 mil contract.That number seems a little large in my estimation - to me he's still kind of an unknown in the offensive area (although not in the ability-to-get-stitches area). But, hey, it's only a year - if he doesn't live up to it, at least it's…

A lack of imagination
This is very sad, because I now want to see this exhibit. It sounds like a really interesting exploration about terrain, about imagining ourselves, imagining the place we live in, about the stories we tell ourselves and others about faith, nationhood, home, exile, origins, legacies, myths and…
