There’s A Rainbow ‘Round My Shoulder

If you live in Chicago you have to weather the weather, as it were.  I actually appreciate the variety.  Blizzards, thunderstorms, sweltering days and freezing nights are all par for the course.  Then again, sometimes you go out on your porch and there’s a rainbow.  Take it, Dean!

Chicago, IL - New Delhi, India | AA292 | 12D

I have officially been on my longest flight ever without a layover - 15 hours.  To my luck I slept through most of it.  Unfortunately for the people a few rows behind me the main cabin lights could not be turned off - imagine trying to sleep. I must say that I am rather upset at the quality…

Smashing Pumpkins revivem Gish em turnê de 20 anos

Para quem cresceu ouvindo o Siamese Dream e o Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, dois dos maiores discos dos anos 90, é um alívio ver que mesmo aos trancos e barrancos, os Smashing Pumpkins (leia-se Billy Corgan e Jimmy Chamberlin) ainda estejam juntos após 20 anos de banda. Para…

Eat Local Meat

Buy Cow At least one person has asked me about purchasing a local cow, and I know at least a few more of you have at least thought about it. Buying a whole, 1/2 or 1/4 cow is the best way to ensure a good stock of local meat at a reasonable price. I'll confess/warn you need a full sized freezer…

Chicago Day II

Bell Guy is a somewhat early riser and when he tries to be quiet he is generally louder than he would be if he were not trying so hard to be so quiet. I call it him being a bull in a china shop. The bull got up fairly early, made his way through the china shop and then left for the lobby to get…

The Cubs are Rich

I think this was a good trade for both of Cubs and the A’s, since Gaudin can add depth and solid help to bullpen and sure Harden is a great pitcher and all probably even better than Sabathia, but with his injury proned past I am not quite sure if he will be capable of starting more than 25…
