Pittsburgh, PA
We read that the Steelers played in Pittsburgh. Can anyone confirm? We didn't see much evidence of this around town.
Brickyard 400 in Indy
Boogedy, Boogedy, Boogedy!
When it comes to NASCAR, Jin Sun is still
learning that rubbin' is racing, that you never go high in turn 4 at Daytona and that a full set of teeth (and sobriety) are not necessary to have a good time.
Spontaneous (!) special guest star Mark Stillabower flew in from S.F. to help out with the education process.

Midwest Glamour "Do's"
This summer's fashion craze continues to sweep the nation - "shirtless" is taking a strong hold in the Midwest. Young and old, all are taking part in the newest fashion trend.
Glencoe Cookout
Great time at the Myers' awesome new compound on the north shore. Many thanks to Eric and Pam.
The great grillmeister in front of the infamous Saab.That's Amelia Myers hiding behind the blinds (from her father's grill
work).
Get your a$# up here and order!
A world away from the farmers market, Jin Sun got her first char dog at Weiner's Circle.
We were sober, but we still got a pretty good taste of what goes on. The girls in front of us were terrified and wouldn't order for themselves. A motorcycle gang called the"#1 Stunnas" (is Jimmy a secret member?) was outside. The lady at the counter decided to keep some of our change for herself. All in all, a successful run.
The only downside was that two guys in front of us didn't have the requisite $20 for a chocolate milkshake.

Celebrity Siting at Historic Farmer's Market
Jin Sun finally meets her match at the Green City farmer's market in Chicago. That's right, former TV frenemy/new pal and Ms. "eat locally" herself - Alice Waters.Within the ultra lame world of potential farmer's market celebrities, this sighting can't be topped.

Chicago Mission Impossible Weekend
48 Hours in Chicago. Thanks to some awesome hospitality provided by Barb, John and Megan, we were able to:
- Eat Austrian desserts
- Stop by Murphy's and Wrigley
- Go to a newish bar in river north (with an
Elyssa Lee sighting)- Eat at a Korean BBQ restaurant
- Hit an historic Farmer's market (more to come)
- Drink Puerto Rican milkshakes
- Take JSP by her first street fest (where we were the oldest people by 5 years)
- Visit the Myers' in Glencoe for a suburban BBQ
- Have a proper night cap at Weiner's Circle (more to come as well)
Whew!
We still don't quite understand the whole beanbag ("cornhole") craze. You
see this guys playing on the sidewalk all over town.

Goin' Up to Country
Jeff spent the day with his Uncle Harry in NE Indiana (Bluffton area) visiting some of the family farms.
The day ended with a stop at the Ivanhoe in Upland, IN.
They offer over 100 different sundae's and shakes, but the cognoscenti know that the strawberry shortcake is the way to go.
