Some Things Never Change


My parents pose with my oldest cousin, David, in front of my mom's parent's home in Fort Atkinson, WI, in 1972. My dad can be seen holding milk and cookies. Which, for those of you that know my dad, is a brilliant detail into the man. Also, please note the sweet plaid pants that my mom has on.

Never Before Seen...

pictures of my parents wedding! Below, my parents, walk out of my mom's family church in Wisconsin. May 26th 1973.
My mom says she didn't have time to change out of her dress for the casual reception at her parents house.

I Can Smell Spring


Surprise Fort

Just the other day I went out to the porch to holler for Claradog. I looked over the rail and was surprised to see this awesome fort, built by Evan and Graham, my neighbors.

2010 a Year Without Healthcare

As 2009 came to a close my Cobra health insurance came to an end. Even though I am overall healthy and athletic I have a long and complicated medical history, a small portion of which I have documented HERE and HERE.



On the directive of a nurse practitioner at a Walgreens walk-in clinic I went to the Clybourn Medical Center. The Walgreens Clinic is $85.00 to see a nurse practitioner. The Clybourn Clinic is $40.00 AND they have a pharmacy on site where I got TWO prescriptions for only FIVE dollars. AMAZING! Conveniently located in Cabrini Green (or what little is left of it) I highly recommend it to anyone! The doctor and pharmacist were very pleasant and knowledgeable.
