Don't trip on the dude
Passed out on the neighbor's lawn
Eleven a.m.
Not an unusual sight around here - and no, not left over from the night before - he and his buddies started passing the brown paper bag wrapped bottle around at 8 a.m.

View from my office
There are some pretty awesome reasons to live in this city - including this...the view from my office.
That train track? Takes me to within 50 feet of my front door.
For the record - muy importante when you live in a place where snow flies in April and August brings 100-degree dias.

Hola. Or Holla. Whichev.
In 2010, I moved myself, my husband, our dog and two cats from a white-bread, very Republican farming community to one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Chicago. The 'hood also votes 99% Democrat. Believe me, I consider this a very.good.thing.
In 2010, I shut down my old blog and stopped writing - mostly because I simply couldn't think of anything else to write about that wasn't going to piss off the person I lived with (the dog and cats really didn't mind all that much). I covered life, love, work, family, personal history. Probably too much of it.
All during my "time off" from the blogging world, I've missed writing. Missed it more than I ever imagined possible. Of course, now, it's all Facebook and Twitter...blogging and comments seem to have gone by the wayside. But...every day I see things that make me think
Until I remember that I no longer have one.
Well - there's an easy remedy for that, isn't there?
Ta-fucking-da. Here it is.

Oh mah holy hell. That needs to go on my blog.
