Random story
My high school was horrible academically. This private Southern Baptist school was not accredited, had teachers without degrees (and without certificates) and was missing core classes such as chemistry, trig, literature and of course all the scientific theory one would hope to get in a proper education (heh...the first step in the "scientific ( Read more... ) -
Took a little walk...
Decided to take the time this evening to have a stroll up Clark St. to Hollywood and back. I took my camera with me and actually had quite a good time. Aquí estan los photos...

Cleared for takeoff
Looks like the city of Chicago has made the zoning changes to clear the way for construction of the Fordham Spire. I'm kinda gidddy. -
AA knows why I fly...
There was the most beautiful sunset on last night's flight from CLT. I was unable to take pictures of it due to the anal-retentive flight attendant who refused to dim the cabin lights the entire flight (and stared down the aisle the entire flight, PA at the ready, looking to call out anyone whose arm or foot strayed into the aisle), but here is a ( Read more... ) -

Rambling about Junebug and cousins...
I took the opportunity Monday morning to watch Junebug and it has sent me into a bit of reflection about my "country upbringing" and the way I relate with my family and especially my extended family. I'm certainly not as urbane nor smug (I hope!) as the George character, nor do I have siblings left behind (my sister lizzie1111 is doing just fine raising her ( Read more... ) -
Pride gone...but 5000 miles richer in the Frequent-Flyer Account
I hit an all-time low today. I left work a wee bit early to go take a test drive....of a Lincoln Zephyr. Actually I didn't actually have to drive it, I just kindly presented the salesman with this slip, gave him the look that says "REALLY, you think I actually wanna test drive this thing? And do you wanna deal with it when you're closing in 15 ( Read more... )
