The Land of Lincoln, Birthdays, and Deer


It was Christyn's b-day and we had a HUGE celebration at work!






Rockin' out!


This is "Dirt Cake" made of ground up Oreos by my anonymous boss lady


The birthday girl.


Yep, this will end up on Twitterbook...


The public pool at the forest preserve calling out to us saying "Come on kids! I know it's not that warm yet, but I can still be fun!"


Old washed out bridge in the preserve


In this picture, there are six deer. See if you can find them!




Bambi being scared off by me VERY quietly breaking every stick in the woods sneaking up on it.


My "wife of the future."


Unfortunate for her, I'm her "husband of the future" and I just broke the tree swing...


Megan pondering if there are trolls under the bridge...

PS - The cancelation of the Southside Irish Parade gets a big thumbs down from me. Chicago needs it's own little Mardi Gras to celebrate the end of the bitter winter.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Baby Doll

HAPPY 2nd YEAR ANNIVERSARY MEGAN!!!


Two years means two days of celebration. So, Megan and I went to the Old Town School of Music to see a Columbian band called Revolu. Pretty good stuff...


Girls dancing like butterflies


Megan at the Calypso Cafe. Really good Caribbean food in the Hyde Park neighborhood. They are located at 5211 C South Harper Shopping Center.


Me. Somewhat fuzzy and in my finest goin’ out clothes.


Here’s the West Indies Patties (one vegetable, one beef) They are traditional mildly spiced pastries with citrus mustard sauce


This is Megan’s Crusted Tilapia that was mildly seasoned and crusted with crushed plantains. She didn’t care for it though...


This was the Jerk Marinated Chicken Breast. The chicken marinade was really good even though it was on cheap Gordon Food chicken patties. Delicious! The plantains were awesome!


Banana Pie with Coconut topping and Megan thinking "why does my stupid boyfriend take so many pictures." She’s annoyed because I’m preventing her from eatting that delicious dessert.


Now she’s happy because she can eat!!!


More SaveMore! Brent rocking out the Pirates of the Caribbean pinball. This is really a Caribbean themed anniversary and week.


Megan, Tony, Frances, Brent, Mike, and Noah at the SaveMore


Frances, Brent, and Mike. Two of the three had a hard time getting home. One I don’t know about. I hope all are fine...


Amanda and I. "Mike, I just wanna dance. Com’on and dance. pleeeaasse!" She’s not a bad dancer for having a torn ACL or whatever.


Brent’s rock and roll album cover


Megan and her classmate Tony from Cleveland. "What’s this place called? The SaveMore? What a dive! It’s just like home!"


Amanda telling me something very important...


Angela’s going to be in China very, very soon.


Frances had a very good time.


Went to Quenchers after the Mutiny and got myself a Tater Tot Pizza.


Roberto hates how much he loves his sandwich.


Megan out at the forest preserve near Irving Park and River Road.


Pretty cute for a longshoreman, eh?


DEER! DEER EVERYWHERE!!! By my count, we saw approximately 39 deer at the park. Not even at a distance. I mean these deer were so close I could have tackled them!


Hello little fella!


A few of its friends.


MORE DEER! Also, notice the poor urban planning. This is another example of suburban insanity. Here were are in a park loaded with tons of deer. What goes better with deer than a five-lane highway on all sides! I’ll never understand post-World War II city and traffic planners.


Another little deer just a few feet off the trail in the woods


Another of his buddies taking a rest nearby.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MEGAN!!!
