We’re officially moved out of the condo on Armitage. Here’s a picture of Francis inspecting the place.
Sorry for our infrequent posting. Once our home internet is hooked up, you’ll have your near-daily updates on the life of Francis.

I visited McDonalds for lunch today. After ordering the usual (number 3 with a coke), I snapped a picture of this sign on the cash register. What did the author intend here? Is he new to the language, and did he mean to say “we’re sorry”? Perhaps the manager’s name is Will, and there’s an understood “is” in there. Regardless, I appreciate the effort. The sign gets the message across, and I knew not to even try using the credit card. They even called me a “dear” customer. You know, I put a lot of effort into developing a relationship with McDonalds. I’ve eaten hundreds of quarter pounders and thousands of fries. I have slurped an olympic sized swimming pool of McDonalds coke. It’s nice for them to recognize my effort and call me a dear customer. Right back atcha, McDonalds.

I am finally signing up because I could not just sit by reading Matt's factual inaccuracies. Thousands of fries? I protest, at least tens of thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands.

Dave points out a misconception that others might have: you don't have to sign up to leave a comment. You can choose "Anonymous," and then write your comment. If you want, you can sign your name or some alias at the bottom of your comment. As to the supposed inaccuracy that Dave protests, I concede.

a mcdonalds billboard across from my apartment in uptown once stated proudly for several weeks that over 99 billoin had been served. thats why they're working at mcdonalds though right? Anna, our cousin from Memphis, came through town with her choir last week. They spent Thursday evening at Navy Pier, and Anna was gracious enough to invite us along. Francis was excited – it was her first trip to the Pier, and she was getting a lot of attention from Anna and her friends. Have you noticed that Francis is good with crowds? That’s really her element. We’ll be eating dinner at some restaurant, and I can tell by the look in her eye that she’s hooked another stranger into her tangled little web of baby attraction. I’m think Francie is going to grow up to be a performer. Performer or salesman. Anyway, seeing Anna was a lot of fun. It was not only fun in the “haven’t seen you in years; my how you’ve grown” sense, but also in the “wow, that girl is great, I hope Francis turns out like her” sense. Family is a great thing. We need more visits like this. We haven’t posted in a while, so here are some shots that Francis and I took today while Sally was out. Here’s the latest news: We’re moving on Saturday. After that, come see us in Oak Park. Francis has six teeth. Underpass Mary was gone and is back again. Someone came and painted the words “Big Lie” on top of it, and then the city covered it all up. Finally, a few of Our Lady’s agents, armed with an industrial degreaser, removed the paint and allowed Mary to show herself again. The Irish have six recruits signed up, and it’s only May. We’re pretty happy with the job Charlie Weis is doing so far. Stay tuned for more news.

ever thought of a job in broadcasting? When I see something like this, I realize that Episodes I and II haven’t completely destroyed my love for Star Wars. This guy is blogging as Darth Vader. In his latest entry, he has just raided the Rebel base on Hoth. Earlier, he complains about being surrounded by incompetents:
Then I see something like this, and I’m a little grateful that the latest Star Wars movies are so bad. If they were just as good as the first two, I might have ended up with a star wars tattoo. *update* You can stop looking at the tattoos, because you will never see anything that surpasses this.

All it took was a Star Wars reference for me to join the Gulde posting family. "Sally and I ritualistically shaved our dog Scout. There really is nothing like a shorn german shepherd… it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it." |
