(Re)connecting with Tradition...

Describe this picture in one sentance.

No, you didn't...

Yes, I did. I showed up at the Border's in Warrenton at 11:30 PM to see firsthand the Harry Potter mania...and of course pick up a copy of the book.

I am blogging from my Treo and currently surrounded by all ages of folks, many of whom are dressed up like characters from the book.

I can't believe I'm doing this...

My new look...

My good friend Jim turned me onto the Simpson's Movie website where you can create your own Simpson's avatar. What would you look like? (Click here.)

Blogging Chicago...

Today while biking along the lake shore to the Museum of Science and industry and Jill got a flat tire, which required us to walk and take the bus. While waiting for the bus we saw quite a few interesting things - one of them pictured above.

The Windy City...

Jill and I took a bike tour of the city today. It was a three-hour tour covering about 6 miles and several different parts of the city. Towards the end of the tour a storm came across the city...and us. Here is a picture of how strong the wind was...incredible!

Chicago, Chicago...

A gorgeous view from our bike tour...

Warren, PA...

Picture of the thriving metropolis of Warren and homeplace of my in-laws.

On Holiday...

Jill and I are on vacation for the next couple of weeks. Posting will be sporadic...more sporadic than usual.

(note: we are nowhere near the above picture - we are north - Warren, PA and Chicago, IL - however, we do have our "vacation" home with us!)
