L.A.T.E. Ride 2007

Wow. I can't believe this is my TENTH year doing the LATE Ride. I mean, is there a certificate for such a feat? So, this had to of been one of the coolest rides yet. Temperatures were in the low 60s and ideal for a long evening ride. Brian "booty bumped" me towards the end of the ride and I ended up in a sandy ditch and almost lost total control of my bike but I recovered. Below are a few pics I took. Enjoy.

Me directing Brian on taking my picture before the ride begins (1:30am).
A view of sunrise over the lake as we after just having completed the ride (5:10am).
Fellow LATE Riders (10,000+) having breakfast around Buckingham Fountain.

A Day At The Taste

Yesterday I took a day off from work and headed into the city to graze it up at the Taste of Chicago and to see CSI-The Experience and the recently updated U-505 Submarine Exhibit at The Museum of Science and Industry. The exhibits were pretty cool and the food at "the taste" was pure gluttony! We tore it up from the floor up and we almost threw up! While grazing I ran into Scarlett, a co-worker from Mexico City who I haven't seen in like over 2 years. She was in town visiting her boyfriend. What a small world! Below are some of the pics from yesterday. You can see the whole set by clicking here. -----> Touch Me

This angel came up from behind and put these horns on my head. He scurred the crap out of me!

I found this little guy wondering around the flowers in the patio yesterday morning.

Night Out With The Boys

Last night I met up with my BFF Mark and some of his friends to celebrate Anthony's birthday! It was a lot of fun. Anthony was obsessed with this rubber ducky hanging on the wall which he managed to get and is seen above in all the pictures. LOL Good times! Happy 4th ya'll!

Cicada Life Cycle Video

Okay okay, one last piece of info on Cicadas. I found this very informative video on the Cicada lifestyle. Very cool vid set to music by Enya. That's it. No more Cicadas for 17 years!
