Long time...no blog.

Here is a partial list of things I've done since I last updated ye olde b__g.
1. Ate three cupcakes in one sitting at Magnolia Bakery in NYC.
2. Participated in Michael Merck's Typewriter Chorus as part of Chicago's Version 05 Fest.
3. Kayaked the Chicago river in a tandem kayak with Ian, until we both leaned at the same time and capsized.
4. Aided by Mr. Ken Harris, dad extrordinaire - hopped McGrath Lexus' barbed wire fence and hailed a Turkish taxi. This done soaking wet and covered in the industrial murk of Chicago's finest waterway.
5. Saw first cardinal of spring.
6. Read The Art of Living Backwards by Heidi Julavits and several issues of the New Yorker.
7. Purchased inordinate quantities of thrift store apparel, and worn some of it... without washing it first. (tsk tsk)
8. Made plans for West Texas brou-ha-ha with a coupla lovely ladies.
9. Half-assedly tried to go on the South Beach diet, for like 2 hours.
10. Thanks to the help of this lady here, learned definition of "crunk." FINALLY!
