View from the 22nd floor - Omni Hotel Chicago Oct 28, 2010

Took a quick business trip to Chicago courtesy of CDW, an IT supplier. My Michigan Avenue hotel was opulent, and the view was spectacular. Apple store around the corner, but didn't make that because I was too busy admiring the view. Look for Lake Michigan between the skyscrapers.

Chicago vs LA Hockey at the United Center - Oct 26, 2010

Taken from a luxury suite provided by CDW and Lenovo as part of our "Blue Ribbon" tour of the Chicago CDW Warehouse. The food in the suite was so good I was able to skip breakfast!

Huron River at Huron Meadows MetroPark Oct 3, 2010

What a beautiful night on the river. I donned my waders and vest, and grabbed my fly-rod and went out. While on the water I decided to try my new furled tapered leader and some dry flies that were recommended to me by a guide at a fly-shop nearby. Although both the leader and the flies looked good together on the water, the smallmouth that I was looking for did not appear. Maybe next time, Mr. Bass Man.

Huron River Fishing Balloons Sept 19, 2010

While standing in the Huron River at Island Lake Recreation Area I heard a weird noise – Turns out it was a “flock” of balloons rising up behind a row of trees. That mixed with a beautiful evening and actually catching a fish made for a wonderful relaxing few hours.

Nerd Heaven

A nerd friend told me how to find nerd heaven. It is at I-75 and 14-mile road in Madison Heights, MI. or http://www.microcenter.com/ This place has a section for building your own computer that is as big as a K-mart. Two aisles full of motherboards, 3 aisles full of hard-drives, and network gear I have never seen in any store. Plus they had a plethora of systems and accessories for every geeky audience. Let's go!

Thanks for the birthday gift Kevin and Sandy Jones! It was a terrific game and we especially enjoyed the ball-park hotdogs.
