My Easter egg entry

Scary flapper from the 20's! Didn't win, or place, not even in the "most challenged" category.

13 Minutes in the Roasting Machine

This is what the beans look like after being transformed in the 50 year old German machine at 400 degrees F. From left to right you can see the change from samples extracted every few minutes.

A lot of coffee!

At the Chicago Intelligentsia coffee roasting plant.

Air and Water Show

All six of the Blue Angels flew over our heads at Montrose Harbour beach today. Multiple times in fact and all very, very low. These seagulls decided to join in the fun!

A Great Sign!

Jimmy John's sandwiches, out of all the Chicago based sandwich chains they are one of the best. And they definitely smell good.

Kegs of Ruin

Just one random corner of the massive keg pile after last nights festivities. My hangover today is suggesting that I skip any further imbibing today.

My Favourite Tree Swing

After 16 years the Grass St rope swing is still as much fun as ever.
