It was a full moon today and quite fitting since today saw the arrival of the wolf at my door. It was dropped of at 17:30. I had to race home to meet the delivery guy. I spent the next 4 hours riding her. She is beautiful and fearful all at on...

Gumby Gumby In Hydrangea on Erie St

I found a Gumby toy while walking home from work. I suspect a kid dropped it from his stroller because it looks new and had saliva on it. (I hope it was saliva.)

Chicago From South Shore Chicago - Buckingham Fountain Chicago - Museum of Science & Industry

It was a cold spring day but the sun was shinning for most of it. I was able to spend a couple of hours on my bicycle riding along the lakefront.

It was quite good. I was especially surprised because I hadn't heard anything about it. The plot was interesting with sufficient twists and turns to keep me in suspense. My only g...

Who new Chicago could be so much worse than Toronto, Canada on any given day. Same day, 435 miles (700 km) northeast, it was sunny and pleasant. So much so I didn't mind the impending flurry of meetings and discussions that were scheduled for Mo...

It's March so it's no surprise that we still have snow in Chicago. I just wish the weather would not be so schizophrenic, swinging from extreme to extreme. It's almost a textbook execution of torture; give'em enough of the good stuff so they hav...

They are superbly comformtable but I can only subjectively say they aid recovery. They do make my calves and shins feel better when I wear the...
