Big power outage in Evanston after a storm blew thru. It's candles, wine, and partially melted orange sherbet right now. :-)

I'm pretty sure I just saw John Cusack zoom by on a 3-wheeled motorcycle. He is from Evanston -- my current city.

Boys and dog

Here's Roxy with a couple of her neighborhood pals.

I'll be heading out to the Scottish Highland Games today to enjoy some free scotch and sunshine! :-)

It's a beautiful day. I just rollerbladed around the Northwestern campus. Now, Roxy & me are heading to dog beach. :-)

Whoa baby, oh no...
You make me lose my self-control!

Chicago yesterday: 95º. Today? 50º. Remind me again why we stay here?!

Today I explored the Pioneer Square & Capitol Hill neighborhoods in Seattle and went to the top of the Space Needle.

Today I explored the Belltown, Wallingford, Freemont, and the U-District neighborhoods in Seattle.

Pretty cool: I'm checking in from a jet w/ WiFi, somewhere 35,000 ft. over the western US. Technology rules!

Cut Medicare/Medicaid, education, parks & recreation, infrastructure, space exploration. Combined they ≠ the WASTE in the defense budget!

T-minus 3 days and counting before I return to Seattle where I lived from 1991 to 1993.

This morning a bagel, latte and long dog walk. Then a long bath. Next, some writing and a trip to dog beach. Now, lunch and errands. Nice.

I just replaced the hard drive in my Apple iMac. Yes!

For Memorial Day I remember: My wonderful grandparents, my uncle Stan, my childhood friend Chris, and my college love Julie.

I just watched "Smokey & The Bandit". It's still a fun movie. ;-)

Ratko Mladic, former Bosnian Serb general accused of planning the massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men & boys has been caught! Never forget!

Right here, right now. There is no other place I want to be. Right here, right now. Watching the world wake up from history.
