Lincoln Park Zoo Ghost Tour. The spookiest part was up close after dark with the lions.
But did you know the park once had a towering s**cide bridge?
Seems like poor municipal planning.

Door County, WI weekend. The kiddo celebrated her birthday by doing a triathlon and a zip line course.🏅

A route map showing a journey from Logan square to Hyde park and back. The sun rises over an empty road. Bridge in the distance. Our hero in his ridiculous little biking outfit, with a harbor behind him and Chicago skyscrapers in the distance. Placid lake with downtown Chicago skyscrapers in the distance, with white clouds and a blue sky.

President Bush gives a thumbs up with a “Mission Accomplished” banner behind him. U.S. troops were deployed to Iraq for another eight years.

Last minute work trip to Baltimore means raw bar and Ravens.
View over skyscrapers along the water. Mr. Trash Wheel floating along a pier. Prepared oysters on ice. Some guy taking a hotel bathroom selfie wearing a suit.

Logan Square raising the pride flag for pride month.
A crowd of people gathered to watch the American flag with the pride flag below it be raised on a flagpole surrounded by trees. The American flag and the pride flag beneath it waive in the breeze next to a green tree in front of a blue sky.

Was I forced, against my better judgement, to see the Sox play baseball and celebrate the birthday of a dear old friend? Yes

Did they blow a lead in the 9th inning? Also yes
An idiot, surrounded by goofballs, in the stands at a baseball game. All smiles. View, from the nosebleed seats, of a distant baseball diamond, home plate to the right, the action on the field hard to discern. The sky is a beautiful blue with whisper of clouds. Awesome kid with her arms spread out and a big smile behind a sign saying, “Chicago” in Sox-brand typeface. Downtown Chicago is in the distance, and the sky is a wonderful blue. Author (right) and child, with downtown Chicago in the distance.

Biked out to the U.S. Grant statue this morning a caught a nice little sunrise. #badideasbicycleclub
An orange sunrise in the distance over Lake Michigan, with a roadway in the middle distance and trees closer to the foreground around the edges.

Resist
Spotted in #logansquare
Reminds me a bit of #dontfret who passed away.
Graffiti saying “The strong women told the f*gg*ts 2 important things about the coming revolutions 1: We will get our a*sees kicked 2: We will WIN!” on a power box at an intersection .

What’s 200 miles between old friends?
A water tower says “Crescent City”, with a two story brick building in front, and behind and on the left are the metal cylinders of giant grain elevators with metalwork towering over them, the skyscrapers of the plains. Flat straight roadway all the way to the horizon, it appears. With leafless trees in the distance. The clouds are hazy and endless. It could be any day in spring or fall in the Midwest.

Finally managed to get the AM exercise in again. All it took was an entirely new gym 😆😆
Exterior of an athletic club Row of treadmills with a view out the windows of a terra cotta-clad exterior visible across the street.

20 miles on the bike today 🚲💪
Picture from the ride.
Lone figure stares at Lake Michigan’s vast horizon. A water crib in the distance.

Holy shit that was an episode. I loved seeing #daredevil swing into frame on the rooftop. #hellskitchen

First early morning bike to the beach of 2025! I am wearing ALL of the layers🥶🚲
A distant view of Chicago skyscrapers with the early morning glow of an approaching sunrise behind them. Foreground is a loaded barge on the Chicago river. Sandscape, deserted, somewhat desolate, with a sliver of blue lake and the sky glowing before a sunrise.

Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth in public feels like an act of rebellion these days.

Also yes.

At the Boston airport bookstore 😆
The book cover of an illustrated children’s book reads, “LOBSTAH GAHDEN”. A red lobster standee next to an orange trophy that reads “#1”. A blue lobster stands in the foreground with a red ribbon that reads “#2”.
