Hot Cocoa Kisses

A woman at the office who always has candy during the holidays gave me some Hershey's Hot Cocoa Kisses and I ate it and thought hey they are not spicy at all then I realized "ohhh Hot Cocoa". They are pretty damn tasty, very creamy and rich.

It's a Boy

My wife is 5 months pregnant and we had a sonogram today to see how the baby is devoloping and to find out the sex of the baby and its a boy and seems to be doing fine. We are totaly excited to finally know what it is and can now get started decorating and buying baby clothes. I was at Target and had to pick up this Marvel shirt and Spider-Man hoodie. I can't wait till he is born so he can wear these.

Art Sign Project

Interesting art project in Chicago called Art Sign Project to help raise art awareness and apparently there are over 1000 pieces and they all must have the word "Art" in them somewhere, more info at www.myspace.com/artsignproject I like this project because on Sept 23rd 5:00 you are incouraged to take a piece home and I have seen a few that I would love to have. Anyway I took some photos of some of my favorites and more are at my flickr page, www.flickr.com/photos/pillarofautumn/sets/72157607435465423/

Beware of my attack dog!!!

Urgggg!!! It is such a beautiful night in Chicago that I decided to take my dog for a nice long walk. We are walking towards an intersection and as we almost get there a kid comes running from out of nowhere around the corner and my dog playfully barked once at him and he continues running towards a parked car 20 feet away. We wait to cross the interection and all of a sudden I get tapped on theshoulder and a woman starts yelling at me. She yells "you need to control your dog, he is dangerous and scared my son, your responsible for your dog, what kind of owner are you?" That is when I get pissed because I love my dog like he is my own kid and I calmly respond "I'm sorry if my dog scared your son but your son ran around the corner infront of my dog and he got excited and wanted to play, my dog was 2 feet infront of me and I was in total control of him." And when I said "What kind of parent are you? Your 20 feet away at your car and your kid is running around." That is when she lost it and started yelling at me in polish and continues to yell at me as she walks to her car.

This other woman who saw everything that happened comes up to me and said that nothing was my fault and she saw the other womans kid running around alone. "Maybe she isn't a dog person" she says as the mother continues yelling at me. So if you see me and my 20 pound "killer" puggle walking down the street stay away because he may want to play with you and lick you to death.
