Tonight we ordered from Penny’s for dinner and while I was signing the credit card receipt, the delivery guy’s car was stolen. That’s right, right in front of my house. He’d left the car on while he brought the order to my door.

This past weekend Mike was in the area for a family birthday and he came into the city. We met up for lunch and then I tagged along with him for a few hours while he took photographs around Bucktown, Wicker Park, East Village and Ukrainian Village. It’s always eye-opening to walk around streets you’ve been down a million times, but to do it with someone new who’s seeing it for the first time.
When we were walking down Chicago we stopped in at Rotofugi and I couldn’t pass up buying this shirt. Now all I need are the Scurvey Friends “Cuddlers.” Rotofugi is a great store. Lots of great toys for big people. I could spend a lot of money there. Kirby, who owns Rotofugi with his wife, came to one of our Chicagoist happy hours and I stalked him once in the subway, but I didn’t see him there on Saturday.

On Saturday night for Kristin’s birthday we took her out for sushi at Kamehachi and then went to Southport Lanes to play pool. The sushi was really good but the pinot grigio we had with it plowed me over like a freight train. The rest of the night was a blur, which explains the last photo.
