Annual Fantasy Baseball Post
I generally don't post about Fantasy Baseball because I'm pretty sure that no one is interested in it beyond the people who are "playing." I actually don't like talking about it even when I have a team that is doing well. It pretty much ranks right up there with Star Trek/Star Wars conventions and World of Warcraft. Geeky and strange.

I ordered the Mediterranean omelet (spinach, kalamata olives, red peppers, onions, artichoke hearts, and ( Read more... ) -
Storm Signals Are Up At #17
As part of our hectic vacation schedule last week we took the girls to see the Broadway In Chicago production of Mary Poppins.
When you love something as much as this family loves the film Mary Poppins you automatically cringe at the though of anyone trying to do a new version of it. It was perfect before so why bother trying? Oh, yeah, I forgot ( Read more... ) -
A.I.G.
