I’ve always been fascinated by the ‘innovations’ of cooking. One of the most recent hot ways to put nuance into a dish is to create a ‘deconstructed’ version of something, essentially creating a mean from the sum of its parts.
Now, I’ll admit right out, that I have never had a professionally deconstructed meaning, so I [...]

Kill me, please

I was going to go see the Mathematicians last night but instead, made my way over to Mickey’s to stage some death scenes out on their patio. About 10 of us showed up in total to systematically kill each other in a variety of ways. A few drinks later and several hundred camera clicks later, [...]
An Horse at the High Noon
Posted in Uncategorized on March 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With no hesitation, An Horse took the stage at the High Noon Saloon last night, putting on a show with more energy and vivacity than some “full” bands I’ve seen recently. If you didn’t look, you’d think there was more than just tiny Kate on the guitar and indie surfer looking Damon on drums. They [...]
Appleseed Cast at the High Noon

I only heard about them last week, but quickly knew I had to make it to The Appleseed Cast show last night at the High Noon Saloon. This group, which emerged amongst greats like Hum and Sunny Day Real Estate in their waning days, ranges in style from emo at it’s best to a mellower, [...]
Flowers of winter

The past two days have really been wonderful with regards to the weather. Whereas my last post had a bleak outlook for the groundhog’s prediction, this weekend has changed all of that. Vinnie and I made our way out to Prairie Moraine Park out in Verona for his first day of much need, [...]
No signs of Spring yet

These low temperatures seem to be the norm lately, and it’s evident clearly in today’s picture of dormant buds on a tree at Cherokee Marsh. If prognostication, coming to national spotlight again this coming Monday, isn’t “fact” enough for you, take it from these “sleepy” buds on this tree. Phil and Jimmy locally (arguably the [...]
The bitter cold of winter
Posted in Uncategorized on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This year has seen less snow than years past, but it is definitely up there as one of the coldest….maybe. Maybe it’s just that I go to the dog park nearly every day, spending an hour at least braving the elements. I ventured out to Cherokee Marsh, having heard there is a decent amount of [...]
At Play
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Border Collie, Dog, Vinnie, Warner Park on November 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Vinnie met a couple of dogs at the park today that he really got along and played well with, one of which was a near spitting image of him, minus one leg and a spaniel/lab mix. They all worked each other out pretty well for about a half hour.
After they left, Vinnie wasn’t quite ready [...]
When did it get so cold?

Those days of 70 degrees that were just around the corner only a week ago seem long gone now as the weather took a turn to the colder side. It’s now 10:15am and the temperature is just teetering at the freezing point. With evenings going almost down to the teens, its’ no surpise that stagnant [...]
Proud Vinnie

What can I say, I really do spend a lot of time with my dog, Vinnie. One of his favorite places to go is to the dog park at Warner. He loves it so much not only because there are a lot of dogs that regularly go there that he likes to play with, but [...]
