THE CELEB-AQUARIUM!

The day before this picture was taken, it was 65 degrees. Obviously, this was below freezing. Today is somewhere in between. Oh March...

Baby Back Rib chips. How can I love and hate something so much at the same time?

I'm sure there's an interesting story to go along with this. What? I don't know...

St. Josaphat doing some "people watching" near my work. It's a nice perch. Apparently, he was a martyr. But, he became a saint because his body didn't rot.

Apparently, the worst thing you can put in the office at a children's hospital is a mechanical dancing chicken. My poor co-workers, they only wanted it to feel more like Spring...

Originally, Megan was the one that was called "difficult" by the jewelers. She had specific styles in mind, baby fingers, desired and exotic looks, and so on. I, on the other hand, wanted plain, simple, and affordable. Megan got her ring months and months ago and I finally got mine. Simply put, for every one men's ring in a store, there are at least 25 women's rings. Done and done...

So, A Chicken Walks Into My Office...

Birthdays are a HUGE deal at work and it was my anonymous boss lady's b-day. When I went into work that morning, I had no idea a singing telegram chicken would be there as well.


She looks startled because he was "balking" at her really loud.


Those are some hairy chicken legs...


This is somewhere in the north of Chicago. Anyone know if this place is good or not? It's in Roger's Park or something.


Megan and I went and did some work related travel. Her work, no longer mine. That being architecture. There was an art gallery next to the Grosse Pointe Lighthouse and this was my favorite piece. I've seen more obnoxious strollers being used in Wicker Park/Bucktown that cost $1000 though.


This is from the Adult Art Education Class in Evanston. It was called "The Grateful Dead."


The Grosse Pointe Lighthouse




The sandy shore of Lake Michigan


The Baha'i Temple up in Wilmette. If you haven't been to it yet, I highly suggest it.


It took about 40 years to construct this place and they are still working on it. It was started in 1912.


Detail

That's about it. Waiting for it to stop snowing in April so I can go outside and enjoy myself.

Mike Kraus - The Eatting Edition

To start out, my appologies to Salmon; Beastman for not seeing their show on Saturday. I didn't think you were going to make it because of the weather and when I found out you did I didn't have a way of getting there. Next time...

Side of a building in Humboldt Park. Dorothy Brown is running against Mayor Daley in tomorrow's election. Most people when they see Dorothy Brown's name say "who?"


Amanda, Mike, and Tyler on a much happier wing night than they look...


Matt deep in conversation.


Cliff and SME keeping Matt deep in thought with their provocative ideas.


Part of Adam, Laia, Kieshia, Megan, and part of Vincent celebrating Chay getting a new job at Columbia College. I can't show you Chay because I didn't take a picture of him...


Roberto! How did you get that sauce on the end of your nose?


That explains it! When will we learn to stop eatting chicken wings?!?!

That's all. I need to practice my docent stuff some more. I need to do laundry, but the wash machine is busted. I should be shaving, but I like the beard in this weather. So it goes...

xoxo,

Mike
