Parade Route









Crazyville. I'm glad I can be a fan and enjoy this from 34 floors up!

Update: If you're thinking about coming into Chicago today, keep the following in mind:
Friday’s ticker-tape parade and rally kick off an action-packed summer weekend in Chicago that features Blues-Fest, the Old Town Art Fair and the Crosstown Classic between the Cubs and Sox.
Every form of transportation into the city was packed this morning (I couldn't even get on my regular Metra train because it was full of beer-drinking Blackhawks fans at 8:15 a.m.), and I imagine after all that fun it'll be even wilder trying to get home tonight.

Be careful on the roads tonight.

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah!



We won! Yipee!



(To my friends who were rooting for the other side, this was a close and wonderful series. While I know it's cold comfort, it was all the more exciting because it was close.)

I Salute You

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. (Dwight David Eisenhower inaugural address, 20 Jan. 1953)
Never forget those who were neither weak nor timid in the face of horrendous odds:


Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death. (Omar N. Bradley)
It’s the unconquerable soul of man, not the nature of the weapon he uses, that insures victory. (George S. Patton)

Well, Phooey



At least this means we'll win at home, instead of on the road.

TMPAE and TMBCITW are growing up!

They're still a pair of cutie bootses, though!

(Of course I bought those dresses. It's my job to spoil them rotten. And my credit card has a mind of its own.)

Quote of the Day:
I will not tolerate any further insubordination from you.
If only it were that easy, my friend.

I just love Takeisha Harris, who stirred up a shitstorm and now blames everyone but herself:
To Takeisha Harris, nothing that occurred Memorial Day morning — whether it was an argument that led to threats against her life or a security guard's claim of defense for a co-worker — justified the shooting death of her fiance, Quintin Sharp.

Harris, who is pregnant with the couple's fourth child, said she was justified in calling Chicago police Monday after Sharp made a threat that sent her running barefoot from her Woodlawn apartment. But she was just as certain that a security guard's version of events — which explained how her boyfriend of six years was shot while fleeing her apartment — didn't jibe with what she witnessed from a police car.
What do you want to bet there's at least one lawsuit brewing here?

Everything you need to know about Illinois politics in one simple sentence: "Less than an hour after Cook County commissioners approved a boycott of Arizona-based businesses, they handed a new red-light camera contract to a company headquartered in that state." Booyah!

Tarzhay will be stocking Amazon's Kindle, it seems. That's a brilliant move, as a lot of people who've never had any interest in owning one have changed their minds after holding and playing with mine.

I've got an obnoxious earworm... obnoxious if you're from Philadelphia, that is!



So what kind of a Hawks fan am I? A unique one, according to this. Why? Because I'm still debating whether I want a jersey that says "Bolland" or "Byfuglien" or "Versteeg" or "Campbell" or "Keith" or "Niemi." I think I need the whole set...
