CHI-TOWN!!!

Well here are a few pixs from the parental visit.
Oprah's house is right there. ( The top 2 floors we think)


Dad milking a plastic cow (Dont worry he did clean the utters before hand)


Mom and Dad starring in the clowns



The Spirit of America (2 points if you know the history)



The U-505 boat. I know Dad posted the picture of us in front of it, but this gives a full view of the ship as it rests.



It was sure fun running around the city with Mom and Dad, maybe Dad will post more of his postcard pictures he took of the landscape, flowers, animals and skyline. He sure did enjoy his camera.

Go Cubs Go!!!!

We went to Wrigley Field last week to see the Cubbies win! It was really fun. Edon got the tickets from a board member last week and the seats were great.

Okay that wasnt our seat but how about this one.
This is where we really were. Wrigley is so small any seat is great.

An old chicago tradition, Go Cubs Go, after every game they win.

Sweeney Todd

Last night Edon and I got Giordano's Chicago style pizza, I know it isn't as good as Gino's East, but it was across the street from the theater and it is pretty good. We then saw Sweeney Todd.



It was really good. It was really different from what I thought it would be. The scene was really simple, it was a parlor backdrop that was smaller than the stage with a hard wood raise floor. It was like a smaller stage set on top of the real stage. The other interesting style was that there was no pit, the actor were also musicians and they played the score, sang and acted, so no one ever left the stage. It was really interesting see the actors use the instruments with the acting. I really liked it. It's nice having Broadway in Chicago.

Color Changing Perro

Edon, didnt think anyone would understand the color changing dog since most of you have never met Azteca, so here is the evolution of her colors. When the computer died in Mexico we lost her puppy pictures, when she was almost black. I guess when you invite an illegal immigrant dog into your home you will never know what will get.


Over the past couple months she has started to grow a black left eye, Perro Loco.

The Red Line Crash


Today as Edon left work, 2 blocks away a semi went out of control exiting the freeway and slammed into the subway station killing 2 and wounding 19 others. The crazy thing is that we use that subway station all the time, but today Edon had the car and was driving. However, if she was planning on taking the train she would have been on the scene. Crazy.
Other Chicago news, this week 40 people were shot or stabbed on the South Side where both Edon and I work. Half have died and most were young. Kids are skipping school and the police have started to escort kids to school so they arrive safely.
I came across some blogs of my friends from Spokane and realized how lame my blog is. They have pictures of their kids, and them growing up, and I have stupid clips of Obama and milk commercials. But I must admit, blogging with kids has to be easier, and unlike Danielle I dont like my dog as much as she likes her cats. In fact I am half of the reason why Azteca is so ugly. I am so cheap I dont take her to get her hair cut, I do it. And yes is looks as good as it sounds, so not only does the color changing dog have a bad fur color she also has a hair cut to match.
So sorry I have lame blogs, but male blogging is sorta gay anyway. Happy blogging.

You Be The Judge....

I saw this and thought is was pretty funny. My current attending has a man crush on Obama, and I am so sick of him drinking from the Kool-aid. I hear him tell the Clinton Bosnia story at least 10 times a day. So I thought this is pretty.



The crowd understood, just watch the ladies in the background and the cheers, plus his smirk. Operation Chaos is working!

Terroists

Edon and I saw this guy on netflixs and we thought he was pretty funny. Here is a clip.


I don't know if you have seen the new milk commercials but here is the new band, "White Gold and the Calcium Twins"



Here is his new song, One Gallon Axe
