1. An update from the annual Crivitz trip...just as soon as my digital camera drys out, or I figure out how to get some of the pre-crash kayak pictures off the memory card.
2. The greatest web page ever, www.sausage-race.com (of which I am now the proud owner).

Good game day...
Today at work I participated in a pretty cool activity called the Go Game (http://www.thegogame.com)
Spent the morning running around River North playing a combination of a scavenger hunt, The Amazing Race and Scatagories. I initially dismissed it, but it was a good time. It also proved to me that while I may no longer be very athletic I am still very well suited should I ever decide to participate in a game show. Then we had some beers, talked some shop, etc.
Now I'm in the 11th inning of the MLB All Star Game, not a bad Tuesday.

I just realized...
That productive days seem to back into one another, and that lazy days seem to beget even lazier days.
In fact looking back on my life I've had vast days of productivity and I've had even more vast periods of 'lazy' days...arguably months...probably years.
Now that I'm blessed with this knowledge one might argue that it'd be beneficial to just consistently stay productive. On the other hand something tells me that something as stupid as sleeping through my alarm clock is just enough to throw this cycle off. So why worry about it.

Things I decided to do today...
1) Start writing sketch again.
2) Finally start a blog.
On the whole I'm pretty happy with my progress; especially because it's a Sunday and most of the time that day of the week is relegated to a whole lot of nothing.
You're looking at blog post #1. The biggest challenge I'd been facing over the last few weeks was deciding what to name this blog, i.e. "Joe's Blog" or "ChiBloggo" both seemed like pretty lame ideas. Regardless, I got past that today and we're moving on.
As far as sketch writing goes there was considerable work done. Right now I'm probably sitting on somewhere between ten and twelve solid sketch ideas...now its just time to start finding time between work and my summer schedule to put pen to paper.
While I'm on it, next logical thing seems like I need a new digital camera.
