Saturday, August 30, 2008 Last Satueday, Andy and I went on a Photowalk We started at the Water Tower and walked North on Michigan Ave.  There's a small park at the corner of Oak and Michigan (across from the Drake) - good nature photo ops.    The we crossed under Lake Shore Drive and walked up the lakefront.   We crossed back under Lake Shore Drive at Division. (Don't like those tunnels)   And wound up at the colorful Near North Side Farmer's Market (Division & Dearborn)   We then wound our way back to Water Tower Place and had lunch at Food Life.

Comments Sunday, August 17, 2008 Day two of the Chicago air show included signtings of F-14's, F-22's, and the B-1 and B-2 - as well from the Blue Angels, a harrier, and the Lima Lima flight team. All conveniently 20 feet from the kitchen :)    Comments Saturday, August 16, 2008 It's THAT weekend again.   Because it's the 50th anniversary, things started mid-day on Friday and culminated around 9pm with planes and parachuters illuminated by trails of light followed by fireworks over North Avenue beach. If you you need me, I'll be on the terrace :)  Comments Friday, August 08, 2008 It's been 220 days, but I finally finished going through the pictures from our Christmas trip to Kenya and Zanzibar. I had no idea back on January 4th when I posted some early image statistics that it would take this long, but it's been a busy year.     Favorite parts of the trip? Least favorite parts of the trip? Will there be another trip to Africa? ASAP ! Comments Sunday, July 20, 2008 Pictures from our trip to Glacier National Park are now available !

Comments Monday, July 14, 2008  It isn't a vacation unless you need 48 hours of rest and some prescription meds when you return, right? Was it the primitive bedding during the trip? Or was it karma because I mocked a family at the Seattle airport who were each carrying their own full sized pillows? Come on folks, I'm sure that there will be pillows wherever you are going! Whatever the source, I returned home with a horrible pain in my neck (no really, it was a spasm in my trapesius). I'm now back in the land of the living so expect more pictures soon. Comments (2) Wednesday, July 02, 2008 Morgan's obsession with the Wii Fit continues. 
Comments Tuesday, July 01, 2008 One more day until official vacation mode begins! It has been six VERY long months of work and I am definitely ready for some time away. I have been stalking the Glacier webcams so I thought I would post them here for your enjoyment. Click for larger versions that include the local time and weather. Apgar Mountain ) Goat Haunt ) Lake McDonald ) St. Mary ) Two Medicine ) The road is now open to the Loop trailhead, but there's still plenty of snow around even though it is in the 80's. Comments Monday, June 30, 2008 For my recent birthday, my mom sent me this piece of literary brillance that my grandmother found. Though the subject matter hints at my goth teen years, I believe this dates to the late-70's given the referenced canines. It certainly was after kindergarten at Marymount, because I recall something about nuns yelling at me for reading during nap time - can't imagine what they would have done if I produced the schnauzer memoirs. The dog (the "new dog") was a weimeraner - come on folks, the first one died before I learned how to spell it! Give the kid a break and buy a mutt?!? 
Comments Sunday, June 29, 2008 In preparation for the upcoming vacation, I was trying to remember the last time that I rode a horse. If my memory is correct, I went to horse camp when I was in elementary school. I remember Camp Lakota, a week-long sleep away Girl Scout camp in Frazier Park, CA. The other was a day camp somewhere in the San Fernando Valley. I remember wearing a helmet and using a pick to clean stuff out of their hooves. Later I wised-up and switched to watersports Camp White's Landing on Catalina Island :) I found my Girl Scout sash - proof of my equestrian skills.  Also note the "medium format camera" and "00111 10011" :) I wish there were a database where I could up some of the more obscure ones. Comments Saturday, June 28, 2008 Sunset
