San Francisco

Friday, December 4th, 2009

So, I am doing some work in the Bay Area for the next couple of months.  This may lead to me spending some more time here.  Regardless, I showed up here on Sunday with two small bags of (look legitimate in an office) clothes.  To give you an idea of how strewn across the country […]

Flying Kites

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Elliott: “There is some good wind today, let’s go fly some kites.”  Brian, “I don’t really know what that means, but I am down.”  That is pretty much the text conversation that occurred on Monday afternoon.  We road bikes to the North Avenue beach on Lake Michigan.  It is a little embarrassing at first because […]

Detroit - The Heidelberg Project

Friday, May 29th, 2009

We took a long road trip last week.  Myself and B. Gault set out for Maine, from Chicago, on Tuesday.  The first stop was Detroit.  We landed in Detroit for the perfect storm.  My two best friends from Villanova were in town.  Ryan lives in Detroit and Joe was there for work (Ecos Consulting).  The […]

Milwaukee, Wisco

Friday, May 15th, 2009

The other day, I went to the Jerry Springer show and sat in the crowd.  But that’s the most that I can write about that because I felt like I had to go to Church the following Sunday to try and purge all of the bad things that I was exposed to.  My roommate and […]

Kentucky Derby

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Its certainly one of those things that you need to check off of your list of “Things to Do” in life.  The Kentucky Derby was a blast.  I will be back to this event.  We rolled through Miami University in Ohio on our way to the derby.  Once we arrived, the fun began.  It cost […]

Nashville 1/2 Marathon

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

I rarely get a chance to explore and check out the ‘South.’  In April, I was able to cruise down to Nashville for a weekend and participate in a half marathon.  I basically made the decision to run at the last minute.  My roommate’s parents live in Nashville and work at Vanderbilt.  So, room and […]

The Museum of Science & Industry

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

It rained today.  Normally, I would be stuck to a couch watching football or something lame.  The roommate and I decided to travel a great distance to the SouthSide of Chicago, to the museum of science and industry in Hyde Park. This place is enormous and I am so jealous of kids today.  Museums and […]

Jack Bauer and Steel Panther

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Thursday night was a blast.  My buddy Jason runs Angel’s & King’s, it’s this bar that is in downtown Chicago.  He had hung out with Kiefer Sutherland the night before and had a blast.  He gave me a call and told me to come down on Thursday night.  First, this amazing hair band played an […]

Oh yeah, Detroit

Monday, March 16th, 2009

I forgot, I went to Detroit a few weeks ago.  While in Detroit with a bunch of Loyola Academy kids, we managed to go to an actual dog show, the Detroit Dog Show.  I also managed to take pictures of a ridiculously hot model with locals.  An explanation is typically demanded for things like this, […]

The Chiditarod

Monday, March 16th, 2009

A lot of people keep asking about it and the Chiditarod is pretty hard to explain.  All of the guys from work got together to participate this year.  At heart, the Chidtarod is a charity event to raise money for something.  But behind all of that, it is a pretty big event that calls for […]
