Proud moment. Getting my ass kicked otherwise.

Scooter lessons from Mr. scoot!

Worst tattoo in the history of the world.

Best dinner yet in Chicago

Ruxbin, 3 blocks away and BYOB!

Below is balsamic glazed berry shortcake.

Productive weekend!

Also got dining set, living room rug and coffee table sorted.

Perfect Sunday afternoon: Eclectic Street Art bike tour

A mini critical mass of 50 bikers on a 4.5 hr bike tour to find hidden gems in the city!

Hollywood Florida the 2nd of 7 October trips.

3 day trip to FL for a tradeshow started with a horrific flight on Spirit Airlines (wont do that again), then a lot of work that left literally only a few minutes of downtime to enjoy the gorgeous steamy weather. But the training was a great success. Here's a glimpse into my glamorous tradeshow world.

Weekend with the ladies

Here are a few boring hits from the weekend.

My souvenir is a muffin top thanks to three days of overindulgence!

Coral gone wrong

This post is for you Skiba!

Exhausted Charlie.

Spent an 84 degree October day out on the Links

Even made a 100 yd approach for a Par 4 Eagle!

Wild Saturday with a Zipcar!

The photos make it look like we had our own private orchard... Kuiper's Farm is a serious biz! 

 The problem with picking apples is you snack on more than you'd eat all year and completely lose your ability to stomach them. Made baked apples tonight and couldn't do much damage to it!

Quick stop at J Crew and then we headed to the South Side for wine making class! Will save the details but it was awesome... can't wait to try the class with Scott and Pamela when we make 12 gallons together!

Then on to Wrigley Field for a favorite Chicago movie, Ferris Bueller's day off.  25 years later.. unbelievable!

 Wheeerreeee's Neally Wheelie?

 After the movie we stepped back in time, and headed to another Chicago institution, Superdawg for classic Chicago dogs! I'm starting to get used to holding the ketchup.  Then again if I didn't the disdain from the hot dog vendor would be nothing like the attitude I'd get just ordering a coffee in NYC.

After this crazy awesome day I realized we needed to go on a diet.  Seriously, it's happening.
