Great Urban Race: Chicago!

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Pictures and a little bit about the clues can be found here! We had a great time. Team WeeM beat the rest of us by about an hour. Team Cake or Death (my team) came in second, of our group, with Team Twomey coming in close behind. Official ...

To camp or not to camp

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Our plans were to go camping this weekend with our gamer friends, as we did last year. However, the weather was not looking so great as of this time yesterday. Even though it's only saying 50% chance of thunderstorms, that's a good bit of rain if you're outside, ...

We went to Winnetka to play bridge today, for a Swiss team with B* and one of his frequent partners. We ended up doing not so great at bridge, despite me bidding (and making) a bold and decisive slam at one point. :) (Oh and blowing a doubled ...

Knee Update

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

I had a doc appointment today to go over the results of my MRI. The good news is that I do not have a torn meniscus. My meniscus looks fine. The better news is that my ligaments in general look to be in great shape, that everything ...

Improvement

Weekend

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

On Saturday (all day), we played Bridge. We ended up tied at the end of our knockout finals, and we had to play a playoff (which we lost). During the games, we walked about a block away to Lover's Lane and picked up some new toys. :) ...

HP: DH

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

I'm done. I went slowly, sort of. I went to bed last night, having read no more than I had when I last posted. When I woke up this morning, I made omelettes for us while Scott read. Then, having had a big breakfast, we rested ...
