• Home Improvement - Traveling Along, We're Adventurers

    Yuck, Yuck, Yuck

    Oooooog. I don’t feel so good. I think I’ve got the beginnings of a sinus infection. I’ve been off all week and could have been decently and appropriately sick, but nooo. I’m getting sick at the beginning of the weekend, but not be sick enough to stay home from work next week. And tomorrow, we’re supposed to meet David’s parents downtown and go to the Art Institute.

    We’re moving!

    David’s sent his resume’ off to a major Internet company and thinks he’s got a realistic chance. We’re shooting for the moon here, but “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” Sorry what I said earlier about it being an outrage.

    Bob Edwards Backlash Building

    Chicago Tribune | :NPR’s replacement of host Edwards met with wide criticism Yep, and there’re at least two online petition drives. One of them is SaveBobEdwards.com I’m still hoping it’s an extremely elaborate April Fools’ joke, but it doesn’t look that way.
