Mary Schmich - Pulitzer

Even though I don't know her (despite a facebook friendship!), I want to congratulate Mary Schmich on her Pulitzer Prize.  I've read her articles for many years.  I think she has some very astute observations on the way things are and a very clear, precise way of communicating them.   I hope, one day, that THIS BLOGGER will win a pulitzer for commentary.

Dear Miss Schmich - in case this somehow came up in your google alerts - my mom calls your articles 'Schmichies' and always saves them for me.

St. Patrick's Day In Chicago

I love my new t-shirt.  It's from the same people who brought me one of my other favs - the bayside tigers shirt:

Where is this goodness from, you ask?  Strange Cargo.  (They owe me a free shirt for this one.)  I love their stuff.

Anyhow.  I'm really looking forward to St. Patrick's Day in Chicago.  I'm booked on a trolley! 

Sad Times

File this one under 'things change'.  Rough.  I will miss your blue awnings.  You are, in my heart, a permanent fixture of wrigleyville, Tropico.
