This is the view out of our bedroom window, here in Atlanta. While it was fairly warm the entire time we were here, it wasn’t (unfortunately) warm enough to go swimming. Fast forward a few hours from now, and we’ll be back in Chicago… battling crazy cold weather. I ended up getting a cab for …
Yesterday, Liz and I arrived in Atlanta, GA along with Tricia, Paige and Audrey. Because of the big snowstorm in Chicago, Tricia and the kids trekked over to our apartment and spent the night last night. We all packed our stuff into my car, and I drove everyone over ot the Logan Square stop. Today …
It’s just after midnight, 12:04 AM to be precise. I’m officially on vacation, and won’t be back in the office until 2009. Liz and I are slated for a flight out to Atlanta tomorrow AM, but given how the snowfall’s just kicked in over the past hour… it’s pretty much a crapshoot at this point …
Spotted this outside the Logan Square Blue Line stop. Feel free to add your own captions.
As now seems to be the tradition, Baxter resumes nibbling away at the Christmas tree this year. She’s been going at our tree somewhat aggressively the past week. My sense is that she’s gotten a taste for it.
Sitting on the couch watching TV, I looked over and spotted Baxter all stretched out on the carpet. And of course, I had to go in for the zoom. Thanks, Cute Overload, for burning your meme into my brain. Note: as an FYI, doing a search on Cute Overload for the term “tocks” returns a …
Tonight, we had our first big snowfall (it started late in the morning, and just kept on coming down the rest of the day). Not a ton of snow (4 inches or so), but from the sounds of it traffic was pretty brutal. I heard that it took Bob about 5 hours to get back …
Late last week, I was contacted by Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz from RedEye. Turns out she was doing an article on waking up early, and had stumbled across an old blog post I made, asking you all about your morning routines… and finding out what time you wake up. Sadly, I was hoping she’d plug the blog …
Earlier this weekend, I started to download Home for the Playstation 3. But in the middle of the install I happened across Penny Arcade’s review (and thankfully so). After reading what they had to say I immediately cancelled the install. This morning, I came across a new term: Quincying. In the video below, not only …
For those of you following the fantastic Cat/Bunny romance of Doki and Nabi, the final story has been posted. Especially for those who saw the last episode, this is the fifth and final installment of the story arc. I gotta confess, I teared up a little bit when I saw it this morning. For those …
A day or two in the fridge, and the blue mashed potatoes just keep getting blue-er. SO weird. Even though my brain says it can’t have spoiled in just two days, the color gives me pause. Still delicious, but I did end up taking that first bite very, very slowly.
Tonight, Liz and I were hosting a holiday party at our apartment. We both had the day off to prepare, and this cleaning list has been sort of on-going for most of the week. Though most of the folks who arrived hung out in the kitchen and the dining room, we got the living room …
Pho*ho*hoto Booth takes the Yearbook Yourself concept and applies it to the holidays. Retro 80′s goodness. And – also a nice way to see what I’ll look like, once I get that buzz cut for Christmas. Now THERE’S a haircut you can set your watch to!
Last weekend, while we were out at Stanley’s, we picked up a few blue potatoes. Liz had heard good things from a coworker, and we decided to try them out. Me personally? Never heard of such a thing. I knew of the regular potato and the red ones, but blue? Totally news to me. After …
Felix participated in an overnight Sleep Study, to determine just why he snores so darn much. Sleep Apnea ends up being the answer.
At the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, Felix is about to get this thing jammed up his nose. He even took video of the procedure. Gross.
Felix visits Chicago Dizziness and Hearing, to determine what might be causing his dizzy spells. Here, he's getting his eyes checked.
