Lightning Bolt in Chicago



On my drive home last night I caught a lightning bolt during the thunder storm that was passing through. It's about 14 seconds in. It took a few tries before I got it.

Storms Move Over Chicago

We were sensing a change in the weather at work and while I was outside, I filmed the storm front move across the sky above the parking lot. Not sure if this video captures how hard the wind began to blow. In any case, I hope it doesn't turn the home commute into a killer.



Then on my way home, I saw the damage near my house on Chicago's West Side.

Andersonville Midsommerfest 2010


Had a blast at this year's Andersonville Midsommerfest. Was a little cool and for the most part cloudy, but was able to hop around with friends and check out the sights. Highlights were doing a summersault dance-off with a little girl and food and beer at Hopleaf.

Elizabeth's Graduation Reception

Bob and I went to a friend's daughter's graduation reception where she exhibited her skills on the piano, drums and with singing. Quite the talent!

Post Dim Sum Beergarita

Some of the AFC Dim Sum gang dropped by Crew for their specialty, "beergaritas." While it sounds funky, it all ends up in the same place anyway! Fun times on a Sunday afternoon ...

More New Orleans

I was in New Orleans again last month. Didn't have time to do anything but take a few quick photos. It was fun being there though ...
