What a great weekend. Friday night we celebrated Amy's engagement with what is now a tradition between Ali, Amy and myself. Big fancy steak dinner and merriment. We're so excited for Amy and it's so funny to think that it was seven years ago when we made the pact that when each got engaged we'd go out for a full-out night on the town. Seven years.

J-Town sisters!

Saturday night we celebrated the 30th birthday of Kate, Kate who never ceases to make me laugh and think and find myself forever grateful that she's in my life. We went to Tombo and I would have stayed for the karaoke were it not for the fact that I had to get up early this morning to go on WGN with Rick Kogan.

To say it was one of my more memorable moments would be an understatement. What a geniunely cool guy he is and, as I said before, the journalism fan girl in me could not get over that I was sitting there with one of my professional heroes, hearing him talk about Tales in such a kind, flattering manner. In many instances I blathered on as though I were a meth addict, but, you know. It happens.
