The best part about being roused from a sound sleep by a crack of thunder at 5:something a.m.?

Having the extra time to make breakfast:

For a while now I’ve been pondering putting recipes and pictures of stuff that I cook on line. This isn’t exactly much of a recipe so I’ve opted not to start here but look for my creations and favorite recipes coming soon.

P.S. No comments about the Santa mug! I love Santa, he brings me the correct amount of coffee every morning, even if it’s not Christmas.

Every year at the Chicago Pride Parade there is a group of bible thumping, rednecked, hate spreading, insufferable bigots that yell at everyone and exercise their right to protest against the proceedings.

My friend Josh and I couldn’t resist taking the opportunity to poke some fun.

I think we made a lot of peoples day.

Living in Chicago I often get the impression that city officials really don’t think things out very clearly but this is a little beyond the normal level of governmental short sightedness.

Chicago police are now publishing the names, photos, and addresses of accused prostitute patrons on a city web site specifically intended to embarrass and humiliate them.

Wow. Can we say lawsuit-waiting-to-happen? I’m all for the publicizing of criminal records but these guys haven’t even been to trial let alone been convicted. This is a clear violation of both the 8th and 5th amendments to the bill of rights and someone’s gonna get kicked in the nuts for it (metaphorically of course).

I hope the city’s lawyers are ready to rumble.
