Another week down, and another month passing us by. It's raining today, but is supposed to really dry up and be hot this weekend. I averaged 25 MPH on this morning's trip to fun land. Do the math... Jarod left home at 6:…
Ever just sit back and think about how badly you wish you were rich? I mean completely loaded. I'm doing okay, but my trip to L.A. did take more than a bit to bounce back from. I actually really, really, really want a pl…
Since going to a fruit and veggie market for most of my produce needs, I've noticed the variety that there is. At the normal super market (Jewel or Dominicks here in Chicago) you might see two or three different kinds of…
Splurged a little yesterday and bought a little high quality Balsamic Vinegar. It's like syrup! Having gotten out of the store with the lowest bill yet (Fox & Obel... GREAT stuff, but you do pay for what you get!), w…
I think the moon is out of wack. There were more random acts of patron based violence at the club. I'm making sure to get a good amount of sleep... when people want to fight you, the only way to defuse the situation i…
Been a rough week. Tuesday: Club was rented out for a free concert. It was a Columbian band by the name of "Cabas." They were really good... to me they could easily be compared to a band like Santana... full of South Am…

I'm really hoping that there's no funny buisiness behind the magical reappearance of The Marine Wassef Ali Hassoun. There have been too many instances during this war that the whole military has been embarrased by the ac…
So it's getting close to the end of my contract with LU. I have mixed emotions about this. I can't be renewed again unless basically the I.T. God really likes me... it basically needs his approval. Doesn't look good for …
Due to typical long weekend weather, the little cookout was postponed until Sunday. Even then I was rather iffy about the weather holding out for us, but it ended up getting really nice later in the day. With Christy's p…
I feel the need for a good 'ole 4th of July cook out, but most likely I'll just do it Saturday. Now the trick is coordination. I live in a Chicago Three Flat, with my Apartment in the basement, or "garden apartment" as t…
