Urban Golf

After 10 months of rain and gloom, Seattleites will use anything as an excuse to go outside. Take Urban Golf for example. In this annual event, participants work their way through 9 holes located throughout Capitol Hill and 9, uh, 'watering' holes. This year I had a chance to play in the tournament with a couple of friends. While I can't say anyone would mistake us for pros, I can say it was a wonderful way to kill a summer afternoon.

An All-American 4th

This year for the fourth of July I headed to Chicago to visit my good friends Rabiah, Ade, and Tasha. I think I truly had an All-American 4th of July. Flying into Chicago on the 3rd, I was treated to several fireworks shows from my window seat. On the 4th, I drank a beer, ate a hot dog, and watched the White Sox play the A's. On the 5th, we checked out the Taste of Chicago. Here local restaurants host booths where attendees can sample the cuisine. So my lunch consisted of two slices of pizza, a taco, corn, ice cream, cheese cake, a meatball, and possibly the largest turkey leg I've ever seen. Beer, baseball, and excessive amounts of food. God Bless America!
