Dear Mr. Beck: Martin Luther King is spelled with one "K"; not three "KKK"!

Cool summer evening + long dog walk + double-scoop ice cream cone = awesome

Had a great morning at dog beach. Just got my grocery shopping done. And now I'm converting British DVD's for my iPhone. :-)

A woman in my 'hood who lives in a halfway house said to Roxy: What's up Chuck? She also once said to Roxy: Hey hey pookie nookie. :-D

Happy Tuesday. It's my last week of 60 mile commutes to the western suburbs. Hooray!

Big news: I have accepted a new position at a company downtown Chicago creating graphic presentations for courtroom litigation. Woot! :-)

I'm watching a retrospective on Soul Train. I used to watch it every Saturday morning and pick up dance moves. Viva Don Cornelius!

Tanaja Stokes, 8-Year-Old Chicago Girl, Fatally Shot By Stray Bullet While Playing

Why does it have to be either/or? Why can't we work on helping to improve economic conditions in poor neighborhoods AND making it more difficult for gang-bangers to easily obtain handguns? Both should be priorities!

I saw "Get Low" starring Bill Murray, Robert Duvall, and Sissy Spacek over the weekend. Excellent movie! Very subtle. Duvall is... Duvall!

It turned out to be a gorgeous day in Chicago today, after some early rain. I'm going to watch "Inglorious Basterds" in a little while.

Updated my iPhone 3G to iOS 4; Jailbroke it with Jailbreakme.com; restored Cydia apps w/ PackageRestore. Just need to update a few sounds!

I'm home today. Didn't get much sleep last night. Spent much of the night in the bathroom. Yuck! Glad it's sunny today. :-)

Me & Roxy just got back from dog beach. Roxy was being chased today by: Rex, Lilly, and Dabney. :-)

Indianapolis Police: Boy, 4, Fired Shot That Killed 3-Year-Old

So...the deadly world shot this 3 year old child in the face? Not the 4 year old boy who found the handgun? The handgun which was easily accessible because groups like the NRA lobby against EVERY single common-sense law to make tragedies like this less likely? It's the worlds fault?! REALLY?!!
