Congratulations, your iPad is here.
"Congratulations, your iPad is here."
This is probably the nicest sentence my ears have heard in a long time. I've been on the edge of my seat, waiting to hear these words, with more anticipation than can be healthy. I've been checking my email every 5 minutes for a week and now it seems as though my wish is going to finally come true.
Thanks to Ricardo, (the best friend anyone could ever ask for), tomorrow I'm going to be the proud owner of an iPad 3G!
Dark Lord Day Redux
After yesterday's experience at the 3 Floyds Brewery with several brews, we needed to enjoy what we waited 6 hours in line for: some Dark Lord Stout!!
It's amazing and I wish I could have more soon. I'm locking up my remaining bottles for the inevitable "special occasion".

2010 Dark Lord Day
If a friend invites you to Munster, Indiana on Dark Lord Day at 3 Floyds Brewery, do yourself a favor and say, "Yes!"
They only sell Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout on one day a year, you can only buy it at the brewery and you need a "Golden Ticket" which this year was red to qualify to buy a max limit of four beers per person.
I thought we were crazy to arrive at 8:30am but when I saw about 300 people already in line, I changed my mind. More importantly when what seemed like another 500 people got in line behind us, I didn't think it was crazy at all.
I wish the designation of the "official line" was better clarified. In the end, several lines converged into a final line to buy Dark Lord. I don't think it would have been difficult to rope out the official line so anyone else entering the brewery property for the port-o-potties (which also created another perpendicular line to the "official line"), the food, other beers and to buy t-shirts didn't have to conflict with the official line.
I did score my four Dark Lord Stouts, a cool t-shirt which gives me Beer Cred and got to drink some really good craft beer.

Ricky Martin’s Big News
One of my clients said that everyone knew about Ricky Martin but he must have just gotten the memo.
Amazing Mofongo at Ajili Mójili
After a very long day, I enjoyed an amazingly delicious Mofongo at Ajili Mójili.
First 2010 Bike Ride
The weather is amazing today so I went for a nice lakeside bike ride.
It's puzzling to me that there is still ice floating in the lake.
Sunny Downtown Chicago
It's the warmest it's been in Chicago since early November. It's a gorgeous sunny day and it's one of those days that make me so happy I live in this city.

Kiss Me I’m Latino
Wearing my Kiss Me I'm Latino shirt, I met Haig for a few Guinness.
First, "Wilde" with traditional Irish dancers and then "Monsignor Murphy's"
Lakeside Walk
Some pictures I took while on a 5 mile walk. I've never seen snow on a beach before so that was surprising to me.
Oscar Ballot
This is my 2010 Oscar Ballot, the day after. I'm not thrilled about some if the choices, the Academy made but I guess I'll survive.
Go ‘Hawks!
After a filling bite to eat at the West End, I'm at the "Madhouse" hoping the Chicago Blackhawks win tonight
