This was taken last June on North Beach. These guys were thinking they were ‘all that’ and proceeded to try and catch a football every time a chickee walked by. They had a 3/20 and a pass rating of like 12. There was much room for improvement. Hey, if they just spent as much time practicing their catching skills as they did on their wardrobe and pecs….
Romantic
Main Entry: 1ro·man·tic
4 a: marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized
Paris…..a friend once described it as “Beautiful, civilized, delicious, amazing”. Whereas all of these characteristics fit, I think ‘romantic’ is the first word that comes to mind. Maybe if I ever get to see the Eiffel tower in person, my views will change. See also: Categories: Beautiful, civilized, delicious, amazing.
Stately
Main Entry: state·ly
1 a: marked by lofty or imposing dignity b: haughty, unapproachable

Chicago Tribune building…enough said, unless I’m wrong. I sometimes get the buildings mixed up. Oh well. It’s still stately.
Ominous
Main Entry: om·i·nous

This was taken on the way home from work on the interstate. Big storms coming!
I look at this bench and it gives me a creepy feeling. I think it’s the tree. It was taken at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. See also: Category: Creepy
Duh
Main Entry: duh
1 —used to express actual or feigned ignorance or stupidity
2 —used derisively to indicate that something just stated is all too obvious or self-evident
This is me as a baby. The look on my face foreshadows that I didn’t look like I’d amount to much….
Fantasyland
Main Entry: fan·ta·sy·land
: an imaginary or ideal place or situation
This was taken on the way to work as I was passing Six Flags (or Mariott’s Great America for those who grew up in the 80’s and visited every summer). It reminded me a lot of the Fantasyland that I knew I’d never get to. The sunrise was an almost unreal color.
