Site was really slow that day, eh?
Is that really you, sublime? Well now I know another face to look for Friday nite.
Thats really me. Unfortunately the guy next to me is an impersonator.
He fooled me. Hey, are you testing me for gullibility?
Ditka used to be more zaftig and have a more choleric mien. Not that he might not have slimmed down since I paid attention.

Okay, that's what I'll shoot for. It's what interests me the most, too, even if the subjects do prefer the most flattering shots. There isn't a lot of personality in a row of smiles.
Especially when it's a fixed smile that never disappears.
And especially when their eyes are closed in mid-blink.
(Warning: I do that all the time.

)

maybe it's too much or too little levitra that's to blame.
Oh, oh, did I step into that one?
oops, my post came after sublime's with the ditka lookalike... I just meant my riposte re who was the greatest coach.
I dunno if Lombardi was or not. There are a few challengers.

I'm moving in 24 hours to take some pictures.
24 hours, geez, louise, I'd better get cracking.
(Have a crew demo'g front yard landscaping tomorrow, on top of my packing and various other things).

Final weather update:
Friday
mostly cloudy
high 55/low 45
Extensive cloudiness, much cooler NNE winds. Some sprinkles could build to a few showers. Readings 12° below normal.
Saturday
partly sunny
high 54/low 42
Becoming partly sunny, cool by early May standards, but with lighter winds. Inland highs: Upper 50s.
Sunday
partly cloudy
high 64/low 48
Generous sunshine. Though cool at the start, temperatures rebound substantially thanks to the sun and more southerly winds. Highs 10° warmer.
Monday
partly sunny
high 73/low 53
Sun yields slowly to increasing cloudiness. Strengthening SE/S winds, warmer temps. Growing prospects for thunderstorms at night. Lower shoreline highs.
To everyone leaving today, bon voyage! It looks like I won't be able to take Friday off of work -- I'll be in court most of the morning. I'll see everyone Friday night at the Duke of Perth.
Thanks for the good wishes, Joe.
You beat me with the weather, so here's again for those who like it more pictured :wink:
Regarding the sun looking at us from behind the clouds: not too bad.
(But thinking that today I'm in the warmest region of all Europe ... [28°C now = 82°F])
Look at the change in weather from Thursday to Friday. This is entirely accurate and agrees with weather reports on local Chicago radio stations.
Definitely (17 total): Cicerone Imposter, devriesj, Eva, georgeob1, mac 11, J_B, joefromchicago, justa_babbling_brooke, Occom Bill, ossobuco, realjohnnyboy, timberlandko, sublime 1, Thomas, Walter Hinteler, yitwail, Mrs yitwail, and Wandel.
Is anybody missing?
I never got any info from georgeob1 not sure if he will be making it, everyone else is on the list.

Which, rip up a Brett Favre card or give me a stick of butter?
Gus, you bring your own damn stick of butter, I'll bring the saltines.
Osso's right, I'm fairly well recovered from a week of eating, drinking, and carrying on in New Orleans. Ready for another fest this weekend!
