Last night Jags and I went to see David Carr read at Magers & Quinn and it was awesome. It was packed. People were sitting on the floor, standing in the stacks, and lined up out of the room. It was the kind of turnout that I wish every book reading had. It was made even awesomer by the fact that my much beloved Jim Walsh was conducting a Q & A with Carr. I’ll save the content of the…
Old Chicago in EP would like to buy a vowel
It was hard to enjoy my lunch under the specter of this misspelling. Oh no, I couldn’t enjoy my lunch because it was frigid degrees below zero in there.

When we last off I was my own nagging spouse, and now a list of things I would totally give myself head for if I were my own nagging spouse: Making sure the washer, dryer, and dishwasher are empty waiting for their next load of things to do Chopping up all the vegetables as soon as I get home from the grocery store so that making a buncha cruncha delicious salad only takes two minutes Generally keeping the big bag…
