We Did it!
2 years later, endless fees, legal assistance, interviews, medical exams, english tests, tax forms, and a very happy marriage later, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and know that we can finally stay together! It’s a very happy day for us. Now it’s time to celebrate! Thank you to everyone who has helped [...]

Bowling Night
It’s been atleast 10 years since I’ve gone bowling. There’s always been something very unappealing to me about it. I’m not very good at it, the place smells like feet and often it’s populated with some of the most depressing people I’ve seen since having to get my drivers license renewed at the DMV or [...]

A year ago they told me [...]
Winter in Chicago
It started lightly snowing 3 days ago here and hasn’t stopped since.

The process of designing and assembling the setting over several months triggered her imagination to develop characters to populate the place [...]
New Years Eve – 2008
A collection of the neighborhoods greatest minds. This year for our New Year’s Eve party, instead of having to play all night in a bar far away from our friends and trying to make some money, we decided to have a party at our place. The turn out was great. Lots of folks we didn’t [...]
