I’m thankful for my health, friends, and family today. This reason to be thankful from today’s Chicago Sun-Times also sums up how I’m feeling:
10. Living in Chicago
It’s a real city with a stunning skyline, friendly people, great music, available cabs, just about every type of ethnic food you could ever want and competitive teams in every [...]

Zelda the wild turkey in New York City’s Battery Park
In honor of Thanksgiving, we have Zelda, a proud New York City resident that every year has survived to Black Friday. Hey, she’s walking here! Stand clear or she’ll peck you where the sun don’t shine! An admiring article…

In honor of Chicago’s first surface-sticking snow today, I bring back last year’s classic “Oh, snow.” It started out so lovely, and ended up so angry. And now, without further adieu, an encore presentation from my old Yahoo blog…
