Getting There...

A couple days ago, we took a quick drive past our soon to be dwelling in Evanston. As of now, we're scheduled to move in in early December. We're keeping our fingers crossed on that and the selling of our house. Timing is everything of course.
We'll be on the 9th floor facing south (this is the side you're looking at). We can see Chicago's lakefront skyline from our windows which is a cool thing considering we are about 12 miles from there. Below is the southeast corner which is the main entrance for the residents. That's Lora and her son David on the corner.Within our building, there is a soon-to-be-open LA Fitness Center. We went into their office and snagged a membership. It's 54,000 sq feet and has everything you need. But the best thing about it is that we don't have to walk outside to enter the facility. So those nasty winter days won't be an excuse not to work out...dammit.


And now for something completely different...

One of, if not my all time favorite rock band is Queen. Hard to believe, but today, Freddie Mercury would have been 60 years old.

I'll always remember the time I saw them back in '82. His stage presence was so engaging that he had you in the palm of his hand. The only other time I witnessed that was Springsteen. Add that to his incredible voice and you indeed had a true rock and roll superstar.
