Oak Lawn Stop Sign Update

STOP

or we'll hunt you down

Ukulele weeps by Jake Shimabukuro

My daughter Katrina wants to get a ukelele to learn. If you know my daughter, something out of left field like that shouldn't be surprising. She said that this video is what "inspired" her. So now I want to play the ukelele. This stuff is amazing. Stick with it, about 3 minutes into the song this dude goes nuts.

If you go to You Tube, he has some other material that he performs that is just amazing.

And all on a ukelele...

mmmmm......Turkey!

Hawks win/Cubs lose

So how about the new president of the Blackhawks? Cubs loss, Hawks gain. Growing up I was almost as big of a Hawks fan as I was a Cubs fan. It's just that they became so irrelevant the last 10 years or so that I became completely disinterested. Now, it has been a bit more fun to watch them - some of these new kids they got, Toews and Kane, can really play. I like the direction they are going. Funny how when old man Wirtz passed away it didn't take long for the son, Rocky, to start changing things. Very much like how monarchies pass from father to son. Think about it through history. Heck, just read through the books of Kings in the bible to see the same thing.

As for the Cubbies. I don't know, but I can't help that this reinforces the feeling that I had that the ownership change is going to happen sooner than the press is talking about.

Totally Floored

Yeah, I was gone a while. A big part of the reason was my hibernating on the floors of my house. Yes, that is what it felt like...hibernating. Took a couple weeks to install the Pergo laminate floor (and get rid of the carpet), but I finished! Man, the crap that was in that carpet makes you wonder what was floating around in the air. Glad it is gone. I finished a couple weeks ago for real. I've just been lazy getting back here. I suppose I lost any readers. Oh, well, good therapy for me. My arm hurts. Tendonitis from all the hammering, I am sure. I have been icing it but, my awesome massage therapist (mary) tells me to ice it much more.

Hey, where is your Thanksgiving going to be at? Ours will be here. Somehow I have to fit in the cleaning up of the house with the extra work for CCC that I need to get in before Thursday. Should be....fun.

Oh, by the way. There are some more Oak Lawn stop signs that I need to get some pix of. I keep forgetting the digital camera when I go out there. I wish my Blackberry could do digital pictures.

drat!
