There is something incredibly romantic and heart warming about Christmas in Lincoln Square. Now I’m just waiting for the first snow.

Me Neither, I Was Just Asking – Family Events
Have you ever met a girl at a family event, thought to yourself “hey, she’s pretty cute, maybe I’ll test the flirting waters a little bit,” then after about two hours have it suddenly occur to you that though you haven’t met before, you are in fact related to her? Me neither, I was just …
Florida Trip – Day 5
Not much to mention on this day either. Went golfing in the morning with my grandfather, my father, and my brother in law. I don’t think I’ve ever really talked about him before on here, but let me tell you about my grandfather. He is quite the character. We call him Bomp (though his real …
Florida Trip – Day 4
Well this was Thanksgiving day, so not much to mention here, other than the fact that I ate a lot of food, hung out with some relatives I have not seen in a long time, and watched a lot of football, all in the comfort of high 70s. It was fantastic. That’s all really.
Florida Trip – Day 3
Well today was a half travel day, in that we needed to drive from Key West to Tampa, which is about an eight hour drive, to return our rental car. It blows my mind to drive 8 hours and still be in the same state. But that would come later, first we decided to head …
Florida Trip – Day 2
The Florida Keys are pretty amazing. Honestly, the temperature and weather is perfect. I would get sick of that after a little while (what’s the fun in perfect weather?), but for now it’s amazing. And I can sum up the attitude of the citizenry with one simple phrase “Yeah sure.” We stayed at my uncle’s …
Florida Trip – Day 1
I’m realizing that I’m really in desperate need of a vacation. Whenever you leave home, you get into that traveler mentality where you just seize whatever the moment provides, you take pictures, and you seem to just breathe in life a little deeper and little more meaningfully. Routines are meaningless. So with that in mind, …
NFL First Guessing – Week 11
Dangit, I dropped the ball on this column again, and now I’m leaving for Florida today. So I don’t really have time to post all my thoughts, so I’ll just be real quick. Patriots aren’t going to lose, which sucks because they’re all cocky bastards, but at least I don’t have to hear about the …
NFL First Guessing – Week 10
Sheesh, I have not been coming through on these columns with my usual gusto, and for that I apologize. Is it because I’m too busy wondering if the Bears last year were just a fluke? Is it because I’m wondering if Lovie Smith is not the coach I thought he was? Is it because I’m …
The Exploding Apartment
So this was actually like my first Chicago moving story, in that it happened when looking for apartments, I just haven’t posted it until now. So when Zach and I were first looking at places, we figured we’d go through an apartment finder of sorts. We’re both quite busy, and did not want to go …
