Day 127

What a nice day here in Chicago. Its about 50 degrees and sunny. I took Leah, Jessica, and my mother in law Stacey to the airport this morning for Ctown. Today my mom was taking them to see about 5 houses. I will keep you posted on if there is anything to Leah's liking. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. So its just me, my work, and Casey the dog today. I've got hoops on in the background again as well. I leave in the morning for my Vegas trip. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to my one day and night of fun there. Should be legit. Wish me luck - the sportsbook at the Bellagio has my name written all over it.

Props go out to my boys Gregg and Dave for the solid birthday dinner at Joe's last night. They really went all out. We shared two bone-in Filet's, Alaskan King Crab legs, stuffed mushrooms, tomato onion and blue cheese salad, three deserts, and wine. In vintage Gregg fashion, he also buried a Shrimp cocktail, fried asparagus, and jennie's potatoes by himself. Quite a display of eating. I still say that there is no better restaurant in this city than Joe's. This is my third time there in two months and there are so many things on the menu to eat that it is hard to choose. But you never leave hungry.

I also want to give a special mention to my Uncle Kenny. I have written in the past how good he has been to me and my brother in the past, but it bears repeating. I had a nice long chat with him last night and his perspective on things is so unique and refreshing. That is my man right there in Waite Hill.

I've got to be honest here...I don't have much today at all. Work is busy, i've got to pack still, get Casey's things ready for day care this weekend, clean up the condo, and watch Kansas/Oklahoma State at Ags' place at 6. So I am done for the day with the blog.
