  1. Well, I have a little trip planned for Vernon, TX, and staying at the Hampton for one night, so, it all evens out.
  2. About a week before I got married in a six-minute Methodist wedding ceremony, I had the brilliant idea to call someone at the Catholic church to see if I needed to fill out some form so I, a Catholic, could get permission to get married with the Methodists. I called a Msgr. Botik at Christ the King Catholic Church, and after I told him my situation, he told me I had to cancel the wedding. "If you marry that woman, in that Church, you will be a heartbeat over hell." I told him I would get back to him. He actually called me and left voice messages the next few days. Christ the King is the Park Cities church. I kicked myself for not calling Holy Trinity Catholic Church - the gay Catholic Church in Oak Lawn. I actually walked in and told a priest over there what the Monsignor had told me. "Oh that's Father Botik - he's pre-Vatican II. Get married, and then in a couple of years bring you wife by and maybe we can convert her."
  3. Never have I been so proud to have been raised a Christian. (To the extent Catholics are Christian.)

  5. I think it was Lakeview - about two blocks from The Diversey Station. Not that there is anything wrong with Boystown. (Chicago Boystown is very different from the Boystown in Acuna, circa 1987.) There was one particular co-ed in a yellow bikini that I hope visits me in my dreams. I might die in my sleep. None of my friends other than me was interested in jumping in that water. I eventually got out and was kind of bummed that they wanted to move down to the pub, but I think we were creeping out the young ladies. Me last weekend:
  6. I keep wanting to go medieval on this GOPers.
  7. Signs Rushmore Diner On the Waterfront From Here to Eternity Strangelove Paths of Glory Well okay then.
  8. Instead of not having any idea that this useless stunt is going on, I wish Texas voters wouldn't be so fucking stupid.
  9. All I have to add is this. Last late September I went out to Great Pond (one of the Belgrade lakes northwest of Augusta). Water was PERFECT - people were taking their gear out of the lake due to the cold but the last of the summer months sun still had the water just right. So recommendation for the late summer. Also, I don't remember the names of all of them because I was tipsy, but the farm breweries around there are all nice.
  10. Just a quick report. Spent a long weekend in Chicago. (Met some law school buddies who I hadn't seen in over thirty years.) Stayed at a great AirBNB in the Lakeview area, just next to Wrigleyville and north of Lincoln Park. a) I'm not an MLB baseball guy at all, and usually want to leave by the fifth inning, but we sprung for great tickets for a Cubs game. FANTASTIC. We walked to the game and that park and just everyone walking to the game was such a great experience. Full house on Friday 1:30 game. Hot, but Illinois hot, so perfect. Did I say Wrigley is wonderful? b) Jumped in the water over at the Diversey Harbor sea wall. Perfectly cold. The talent at the se wall was pretty phenomenal despite it (or maybe because) it's near the gay area of town. Ah, to be young. c) Took a private "blackhawk boat tour" that went up the river and then hauled ass out on the lake. Lot of bouncing and probably fucked up my back but hey, life is short, it was fun. d) Got a three day CTA pass at Midway. I love the fucking train. Wasn't even too bad at rush hour when I arrived. Just lots of 20 year-old going to Lalapalooza. Really didn't sweat the restaurants. The only "sit down" we had was at Mia Francesca which was fine. The rest was just the next pub that caught our eye. Great walking town. (Was a bit surprised at how "white" the northside was. I've been hanging out in DC to visit my daughter and maybe because DC feels so much smaller, you get a big mix.) We were blessed with some slightly cooler than average. With Midway and O'Hare there, and both accessible by train, a no-brainer quick weekend.
  11. A circus tent of acceptance and compassion. If that turns them off, fuck them.
  12. I don't really care what you think a woman is. I am vaguely curious as to why someone thinks this is an issue that affects them (in a negative way) beyond certain sporting competitions that can be dealt with my local sports organizations or school districts. Or are we in the land of "if just one person might regret the medical decisions they made ten years ago, then no one has the right to make any medical decisions" Or is it just fear based stupidity that you think needs to be politically addressed, because "votes"? Are the Dems being stupid if they don't appeal to racists? Is there a line. I'm generally big tent. I just don't think racists and trans-fear mongers need to be let in or catered to.
  13. I think they are more hateful assholes than bigots.

  15. The rebates were all part of the plan. Thank you, Mr. President!
  16. The evidence has to be in that "income inequality" isn't going to sway people who fear a brown non-Christian takeover of America. I think all the GOP has to make sure that voters aren't hungry. Kids, etc. Who cares? If the voters have fast food, then they won't care about income inequality.
  17. Some of you guys really believe that "I had to pardon some people to prevent another commie witch hunt" and "I never met this Maxwell woman" and "you want a pervert, it's Bill Clinton" wouldn't fly with MAGA and the GOP legislators?
  18. I'm feeling just the opposite. This is only going to be an exercise in seeing how anti-Trumpers' brains continue to explode because they still can't fathom that he not only will get away with everything -- he will continue to laugh at them while he gets away with everything. And he's not getting away with anything because we all knew he was a old freak nasty anyway.
  19. Well, that's no fun.
  20. From that article, netted out? Rural folk suck.
