As the blog approaches 5 years old (and a year since any measurable activity), I came across this little gem in Wicker Park last weekend:As you may recall, this is the band that was playing the night the blog was spawned.

They just re-designed the 100-item test (pdf) one has to pass to become a naturalized citizen. It wasn't as hard as I imagined, but I don't think I would have gotten 100%.

If you're bored, have more than a passing interest in the outcome of this week's Phoenix municipal elections and don't mind waiting through seven or eight minutes of preamble, you can hear my debut as a (local) NPR analyst at the KJZZ page. Or you can just go watch the Britney kid cry again, see if I care.

Paris Hilton and I share the same birthday (well, she's a year older). That is all.

Six people showed up to play volleyball near North Ave. Beach on a Sunday morning. One rode a bike, one rollerbladed, one ran three miles to get there, two walked, and one . . . took a cab. Guess which one was Cleo. :)
