Chicago’s classic cinemas are cool. They’re reasonably priced and high quality. Some of them are in beautifully restored historic theaters. Today we saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the Elmhurst York.

Paraders

2010 Saint Patrick’s Day Chicago Parade
Two hours of waiting around for the 10 minutes of march’n madness handing out the green plastic hats. It was a little rainy, but not too cold. The spicy juice tailgating in the staging area helped to keep us warm. Avoiding the traffic riding the charter bus there and back was nice. After the parade, we attended a nice potluck.

My daughter and I and enjoyed the new version of A Christmas Carol by Disney. We saw the 3D version.
Fathers Day Navy Pier
June 21st, 2009 Aden Posted in Activities No Comments »
Purchased the $24.00 parking, saw a pirate play, rode the Ferris Wheel, explored the pier, had lunch at Bubba Gump’s, rode the free downtown trolley shuttle, went to the Children’s Museum, built a bear, had Haagen Dazs ice cream, came home to the suburbs in bumper to bumper. A perfect Chicago day.
Srike a Pose

While I was in the shower this morning, my 6 year old answered my cel phone. While doing it, she took this self portrait of herself. Never showing her how to use my new phone, I was surprised that she figured it out on her own.
Jimmy Buffett Plan

I’m making a plan to take my motorcycle to South Padre Island and ride it on the beach in the surf of the Gulf of Mexico.

Chicago Ridgefest – Ted Nugent
July 27th, 2007 Aden Posted in Activities No Comments »
I saw Ted tonight at the Ridgefest. It was just what the Doctor ordered. He started early at 8:00PM, instead of the scheduled 9:00PM, and played for about 1.5 hours. It was a great show with a huge nuge crowd.
Nugent has lost none of his guitar playing chops, but he doesn’t jump around the stage anymore the way that he used to. I guess everyone gets old.
Watching Ted on T.V. is just not the same as seeing him live, they have to edit out too much from his rants. My favorite quotes of his from the evening are…
“Everyone should buy machine guns… buy them for your children…” and “This is the United States… we kill kings, dictators, and tyrants” and last but not least “F**k Mayor Daley”
