Ice Skating!

Thanks for taking this hilarious pic Jason!
I'm a self taught ice skating genius! Well, ok, I'm not that good, in fact, I can't stop without slamming into the wall or throwing myself to the ice. No matter. It doesn't dampen my spirit!
Every Wednesday and Friday at California Park in Chicago. 9:15-10:45. Be there!

One Year Later

My cousin Molly, and her 1 year old twins.

I am kicking myself for not taking a redhead portrait of my fam. With the twins adding two more we are up to 6 and one borderline.

Oh Tannenbaum!

Updates

I'm slowly updating my website. This is the new Interiors page.

The Elastic Truth

I found this in the alley the other day.
My neighborhood is a trip sometimes. Just now I went outside to walk my dog and clean off my car and someone had cleaned it off for me already! Brushed off the snow and scrapped my windows...WTF!?! Crazy. But, awesome!

Cutie Pie Claradog

Clara is the cutest dog ever. Just a reminder.
We got a feather bed now and it rocks. We can sleep for daaaaaaaaaaays.

But it Didn't Even Look Like Her

If I Were a Boy

(...and rich) I would wear a bunch of this cool Shackleton sh!t from Timberland.
Guy's have some great options for sick winter gear this year and I am sort of jealous. The Timberland line is OK. I'm more psyched that people are giving Shackleton his due.

Wish List

Someone should get me this for Christmas. Please...it's the only thing on my list...

What the Pho?

Yummy Pho.
Hooptie vans.

Awesome tattoos.

What's not to love here?

LACMA: Vanity Fair

Awesome show at LACMA right now. Vanity Fair has photos from the turn of the last century, who knew?!?

Venice Beach

I love this drawn American outline. The alleys here are lively and populated. The homeless people look like vampive zombies from a theater production, kind of like the clown on the building above...

2 weeks ago Dr. Harris at Northwestern did surgery to release my right trigger thumb.
Here is a tip: always bring someone to the hospital with you. No matter what they tell you.
