I played with X-Mojo (yep, not Love Child) yesterday at the Nor’easterns 2003 ultimate tournament in Falmouth. We did well! Check out the results here (note: although they conveniently left out our score for the last game, it was close – 13-9). Look for a few pictures soon.

I put up some pictures from the Chicago trip – you can check ’em out here. It’s a great place, and I wish we’d had more time there.
Two good links:
- The Straight Dope – Cecil tackles such questions as “Is uranium added to false teeth to give them a natural glow?” and “How do I go about creating a zombie?”. But really, there are some good questions answered there.
- Sky Scrapers – All the info (and pictures) on sky scrapers you could ever want.
I’m back from a wonderful weekend in Chicago. I think the recorded voice on the CTA subway said it best when it said, “This is Grand.”
Some highlights:
- the weather was beautiful
- the Doubletree Suites downtown was fantastic, as well as reasonably priced with the stay-free-Sunday-night deal
- I’d highly recommend the architectural tour by boat
- the Art Institute is wonderful
- great food at the Mambo Grill and Indian Garden (with bangain bharta to die for)
- a visit to East Lakeview that included great brunch (the name of the restaurant escapes me, however) and one of the best vintage stores, Silver Moon, I’ve ever visited
The new car is still a joy – mileage is way up this days, and averaging about 50 to 55 MPG on my 20 mile commute to work.
Frisbee season starts this weekend. Finally some exercise!
Inspired by AWAD, here’s a clerihew for ‘W’:
President G. W. Bush
has cronies and a life quite cush.
Deep in the jungle we glimpse
W at home with the chimps.
