Radio Waves Goodbye

Kenneth Burns already covered most of this hot bloggy topic but I’ll add my thoughts. Dave Zero goes off the air in a few short weeks and it’s going to be a sad day indeed. I met Dave back in 1997 through some friends and got to know him as a fellow scenester. When [...]

School Daze

Soren has started preschool and things are looking good. I don’t think there were any Montessori schools where I grew up but the philosophy seems to fit my son’s personality to a tee. He loves to observe and has a thirst for trying new activities. He’s the youngest kid out of the five in his [...]

Gigantic

I’ve been a fan of They Might Be Giants for a long time. I remember visiting my brother when he was first in college and being tickled by the great video for “Don’t Let’s Start.” Their weird sensibility helped me branch out (I was still only listening to the Beatles and the Who at the [...]

Young & Innnocent

I left Iowa in 1996 and the major casualty of my departure to a better life in Wisconsin was lots of loose ends with my friends. I had a great time growing up in Iowa but I was anxious to get out and left without alerting the media. Now that life has settled here I’ve [...]

–Ate for the first time at Golden Nugget which is around the corner from my Grandma’s house. In all my years in Chicago I had been to most of the neighborhood restaurants but never the Nugget. I had chiliquilies which were excellent–and the [...]

Now I’m Found

Through the miracle of blogs (and links to other folks), I found a tremendous found photo gallery. There is something strange and great about mundane pix of real people with real expressions. While scrolling through I found this one and it was so casual that it took me a minute before I recognized this [...]

Grumbles from the cab

I drove my cab on xmas eve and it was slow enough that we whittled the fleet down to size and I got to go home early. Most of my fares were folks going from one bar to another or going home from a bar–everyone was nice and everyone tipped well which was very thoughtful. [...]

Amazon Kills Amazon

Two packages arrived this morning from our friends out in Berkeley, CA. As soon as I saw the horned tail on the side of the boxes I knew these shipments reached us via Amazon.com. I’ve never bought anything from Amazon but I don’t have any issue with their services. I bought my PA and many [...]
