JUST FOR THE TASTE OF IT.....

I felt inclined to share this photo with you. A couple years back, it probably wouldn't have been a good idea. Now, I've mellowed and most of my internet enemies seem to have died with a certain message board. That suits me just fine.
Anyway, that was the four of us at the Taste Of Chicago, which was in itself OK. Not great and lots of hassle and cash just to sample a few different cuisines. First was the missed train, literally by 30 seconds, then the hour+ train ride, then the walking 30 minutes to the lake-shore with another couple and 6 kids, 2 of which (mine) were crabbing the whole time, the $80 in tickets and then all that same shit in reverse just to get home. Of course we could have left the kids at home and all went out and had a really good dinner for that kind of scratch and ended back at our place getting drunk. Ah well, next time.
Been getting lots of R&R time on the deck and actually getting my scooter out to ride and generally having a good summer, Albeit a busy one. Which is why my show on AKA is on hiatus and I probably won't pick it back up. The thrill is gone, it just aint fun anymore and who has 2 hours a week to kill? I've been having more fun reading these blogs, links to my favorites are on the side there and they're all good reads.
Hopefully, I'll find the time to write more often and to get the oft promised pics of my finished deck up here to see!
