NYTimes: French Ideal of Bicycle-Sharing Meets Reality

From The New York Times:

French Ideal of Bicycle-Sharing Meets Reality

Paris's bike-rental system has inspired a new urban ethos, along with
some old urban curses: vandalism and theft.

Wilco (The Concert)



Wilco UIC Pavillion...and yes, I was the drunk girl.



Wrigley Field made of Wrigley wrappers


Being a tourist in my own town...at ESPN Zone off Michigan Avenue.  Lots of people wearing sports jerseys, eating entire desserts.  There are TV's in the bathroom so you don't miss the game. 

So is this like when you see a bird eating scrambled eggs (off a plate, brunch time, outdoor patio)?  No..ok. 

Hmm

Look...Taste of India, next to Dunkin Donuts!

Bucktown 5K 2009

Love this race! Apparently I've run at a 9:50 pace 2 years in a row...at least I'm consistent. The first time at 9:27 pace in 2004...hmm my first race in Chicago!
