Lincoln Park Zoo
Dear wonderful people of Chicago who fund the Lincoln Park Zoo, You have our heartfelt gratitude for the daily de-cranking that your wonderful, and FREE, zoo afforded our crankasaurus1. Finlaggan was largely unimpressed by the bear, camels, giraffe, zebra, and other colourful, exotic animals. Not for him, these creatures that populate his books. No, Mr […]
Boats and bubbles on the fourth
A low key 4th of July this year for us. The day started out wet and gray. The June gloom was particularly thick that morning as I waited for the bus. And since I spent the morning at work, we decided to skip our annual 4th of July BBQ. We’ve also had 5 parties in […]

Sadly, we didn’t get to explore the upper echelons of food culture this time, but were reasonably impressed by the offerings of the kid-friendly restaurants and cafes. Some highlights (i.e. […]
A stroll around Lincoln Park
After showing you our West LA / Santa Monica neighbourhood earlier this week, I thought I’d better get a move on and write up a few words about our brief stay in Chicago before the photos become meaningless to us. I know that somewhere, on our back-up HDD and DVDs lie a slew of photos, […]
