Post Election Ruminations

Q: Is it true that there are vineyards in Rogers Park?
A: Perhaps. Check out the sour grapes here.

if you live near 1337 W. Fargo....

.....and are reading this at work (it's ok I won't tell) I hope you got to the polling place. If not, MAKE TIME TO VOTE. No excuse if you work in the 'burbs. (And I'm waaaay out there.)
Who knows 1337 W. Fargo. (35th pct.) may be a dounghnut-free polling place. Give it a look.

The tally on phone calls

The Broken Heart of Rogers Park lists the number of 49th ward mailers
Who's keeping track of phone calls? (either automated or with a human speaking on the other end.)
I've gotten
2-"49th Ward"..no message left
1-Don Gordon..someone left a message.

Anyone else?

Carrying on

How many of you have a friend or relative who has been hospitalized with a severe condition?
How does it feel when you visit this person in their hospital ward? Add to that, how does it feel visiting someone in their forties, someone bright, a self starter, with a wicked sense of humor?
How about this: you're riding up the elevator to the floor your friend/relatives's ward is on, once again mentally preparing yourself to see a once-healthy person, bedridden with tubes running out of their body. Your preparing yourself to see a normally talkative person who is recovering from a stroke and can barely speak. How does it feel?
I'll never get used to it.
I have a friend name Bill who is recovering from a stroke. He was the creator and editor and chief of the Fire Alarm. I have been contributing photos to the site since its inception. While Bill has been in the hospital, Dan has been running the site.
Tomorrow is the Chicago Storm's first home game at the Sears Centre in weeks. It'll be strange not seeing Bill up in the press area, or hanging out with the Reignmen. (A supporters group.)

Feeding the "content monster"

I guess I have this blogging thing all wrong.
I was under the impression that if you have nothing left to post, or if
you don't feel like posting for a long time, you should tale your blog
down.
I was wrong. I've been looking at other blogs that haven't had updates
for days, weeks, or months. But there they are - cobwebs for all to
see.
Ok, I get the message now- no more "man of a thousand blogs".
As far as a blog theme...it’s a work in progress.
