Snow Day
No, these photos weren’t taken today, they’re from Christmas Day, but thought now was as good a time as any to share them. As I was driving home, I just had to stop and snap a few shots of the peacefully falling snow (prior to the negative 50-degree wind chills hitting the city).
Fall Colors Part 1: University of Chicago
The other weekend, Daniela and Phil stopped by and made me cook them a 2 pm breakfast. But that was only so we’d have the energy for our fall colors drive to the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park. University of Chicago is one of my favorite places in the city. First of all, … Continue reading

Today, he posted the artwork for the album, but I was actually more interested in the short post he included: “Feels like it’s been so long.

I’m a “Bon Vivant!”
My daily distraction (aka Mindy) sent me this quiz to find out my design style (from How About Orange). And while I generally object to being labeled, I must say I kind of like my results: You most resemble an “Unpretentious Bon Vivant“. A romantic simplicity defines your setting. Kitchen ambitions move slow by design. … Continue reading
