Dinner with friends

 

Tonight me and some friends went out to eat at Aodake Japanese Restaurant & Steakhouse. Great food and even better friends. I met up with Meshia, me, Tonya and Robert. Thanks for a great evening guys.

My early 40th Birthday Party

 

On Saturday, December 13, I celebrated my 40th birthday. Some friends and family came to celebrate with me and although the weather was crappy, we had a good time. Thanks guys for coming out to help me bring in my early 40th birthday!

Wicked, the Play

 

On September 13, I saw the musical Wicked . It was good IF you like a lot of singing. The story was cool as was the book. I had to go see it expecially because it's going to be here for a few months longer. It was now or never. If it is in or comes to your area, go see it.

Happy Birthday Meshia!

 

On Friday September 19, Luis, me, Meshia and Robert went out to celebrate her birthday early. Her Birthday is today(September 21), byt we sent out early to celebrate. We went to J. Alexander's, which is one of my personal favorites. Great food, nice ambiace. if you live near one, do try.

Spirit of Chicago

 

 

 

 

On September 14, my company(ADP) took us on a cruise on Lake Michigan on the Spirit of Chicago boat tour from Navy Pier. I, and my co-workers, had a great time on the boat(after some of us got over the motion sickness). The day started off gloomy and rainy, like it had been doing the 2 days prior, but it changed and turned out to be a blast.

Congratulations!

 

 

On August 2nd, Dommique Greer married Curtis Winters. She looked really great and I could tell she was extremely happy and that it was THE BIG DAY for her. She and Curtis had been together for a long time and have a beautiful daughter together. I wish them the best!

Baltimore/Philadelphia

 

 

 

 

 

Back in July, I, along with my buddy Luis, went on a little trip. We visited Baltimore and Philadelphia, which was actually cool. We went on a couple of tours, one of which was the Harbor Ducks tour, if you've ever heard of it. It's kinda corny and cool at the same time. We stayed in both cities for a couple of days each and it was cool. If you ever get the chance, the Inner Harbor in Baltimore is really cool. Maybe I'll visit B'more again next year....

Dinner

 

Yeah, I know. It seems like I go out to eat qute a bit. Okay, so I do, whatever..... I went to eat at Habana Libre in Chicago. Let me tell you, this place has GREAT food. It's a Cuban restaruant that is authentic and cool. Just small enough to attract a decent amount of people, but not over crowded. I highly reccoment this place.

Meeting of Friends

 

You never realize how long it's been until you see someone you haven't seen in a long time. I met with some friends at the Flattop Grill to catch up and grab a bite. I love this company and these people. From left to right, Lee, Robert, Meshia and me.

 

Man, oh man. On Sunday, 3/16 I had the great pleasure of seeing a band I love called Pink Martini in Chicago. As usual, they sounded wonderful. The are great entertainers/performers and I am already looking forward to seeing them again. If you get a chance, take a look at the link or look up theri music.

Bowling and Dinner with Friends

 

What a day. Earlier, I went to lunch with some great friends. Well, I had the double pleasure of going bowling at Waveland Bowl in Chicago(Don't ask my score, but let's say it was under 100). Afterwards, we went to a really cool Thai restaurant few blocks from the bowling alley. It was awesome other than the fact there was a party of about 20-25 people there and this one woman who cackled louder than a train screeching to a halt on a rusty track. But, all in all, it was a great day.

Lunch with Friends

 

Man, what a day! I had the opportunity to have lunch with some friends at Red Robin(which I love), one I haven't seen in like 4 years of more, except for a chance sighting on the expressway. Yeah, I know, seeing a friend you hadn't seen in a while by dumb luck driving on the expressway?? RANDOM. It was a really good thing seeing all my buds and I hope we do this again SOON.

James' Birthday 2007

On November 30, We all went to dinner at Brazzaz in downtown Chicago to celebrate the birthday of our friend James. The food is GREAT, and for those that don't know the restaurant, it's a Brazilian steakhouse, and while you dine, the servers come around and offer you different types of meat for as long as you can eat it. Check out the site here.

 

Dinner with Friends

Some friends and I,who do not get together as often as we should, decided to go out to eat. We went to Andies, a Mediterranean restaurant on Chicago's northside. As usual, it was a good time and the food is great as well. Check out the restaurant at this link.

 

Viva Mexico! November 2007

Ah, Viva Mexico! Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I went to Mexico. Let's just say that some of the places and sights there are beautiful. I stayed in Leon, in the Howard Johnson Condesa, which was a beautiful hotel. I visited Guanajuato and San Miguel Allende, which were two beautiful cities. I will definitely be visiting Mexico again.
