Went to Ravinia to see Garrison Keiller on Father's Day Eve with Kamiah's Family!

My View from our lawn seats


Embarrassed by listening to Mr. Keiller's, in the spirit of Father's Day, very graphic description of a father's role in conception while seated between Kamiah's parents.

Happy Sweet Sixteen

Happy Be-lated birthday to Janell. In celebration we attended the outdoor showing of Sixteen Candles. Turning 28 and 16 have so much in common. We would not allow Janell to give away her underwear to the nerdy guys next to us though. Even if some hottie would return them to her the next day, it just isn't appropriate at 28.

"Baseball"

Lunch with Jet and Karis, overlooking Wrigley Field. There was no game- and I was okay with that.

Once, you should see it twice

Landmark Cinema is showing the movie Once. I liked it so much I felt comfortable enough to lay my head on the poster. Katy was also a fan.
