Yogurt Deserts!

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well.  I make very awesome yogurt parfaits!  These parfaits may include figs, peaches, kiwi, fresh mint, and strawberries.  Yes, this is interesting.  Yes, life is sad.

P.S.: Just kidding about the sad part!

Bennigan's in Chapter 7

Dear friends,

I hope this message finds you guys well.  Today, I found out that Bennigan's has filed for Chaper 7 bankruptcy.  Today is a sad day for the infamous Monte Cristo sandwich.  I have no idea where else I can get a deep-fried turkey sandwich, topped with powdered-sugar, and dipped in raspberry jam!

Sad!

Curious Hispanic Boy in the Elevator

Dear friends,

I hope this message finds you all well.  While I was in the Cook County Courthouse elevator, a Hispanic mom and her two children rushed into the elevator.  The boy looked at me and began to open his mouth to address me.  In that split second, I knew he would probably say something marginally stereotypical / offensive.  Sure enough, he said:

"You look like Jackie Chan."

I was amused by his boldness as well as my own split-second foresight.  I looked at his blue shirt and his shirt said:

"Crip It"

The picture on his shirt was a picture of a cartoonish skateboarder.  I did a double-take to confirm what I was looking at.  Alas, they exited the elevator as quickly as they came in, leaving me amused and befuddled.

Have a nice day, friends!
