There's a Starbucks at the corner, a too-good-to-be-so-close ice cream joint, the cleaners, a bagel place, a sandwich spot, several bars, a convenience store, and a nail salon...all within two blocks of my apartment. 6 blocks to the gym, 6 blocks to Wrigley Field.... It's a beautiful thing.
Got a ton of errands done today. Made my first trip down to Hyde Park, did ok with the navigation, bit of a challenge to find parking, but I was able to get my U of C ID, sign up for parking, and drop off my immunization record, all within about an hour. I headed back north to Michigan Ave so I could sign over my first (not yet born) child in exchange for the beautiful 12 in Powerbook from which I'm currently blogging. So *sooooo* worth it (sorry first-not-yet born child). Got all the desired accessories and took advantage of the free iPod mini deal (which I will be giving to my friend since I already have a 20 gig iPod...am I an awesome friend or what?)
Date tonight (he's taking me to his favorite Italian joint) and tomorrow I'm getting out of the city to explore rural Illinois and hook up with some new wakeboarding peeps. Hopefully gas prices will be under $3 when I get out of the metro Chicago area.

Wow !!! You must be feeling so fulfilled now ...
I am leaning towards the Thinkpad at this point.
Britchick, cannot beat Switzerland isn't it?
If you're driving in Hyde Park and have 20 minutes to spare, take a drive to Indiana and fill up the tank...
Avoid rush hour of course.
Vik, yep same neighborhood. Love that sushi place, good idea. I'm supposed to hang out with Dude again tonight :)
I think there's a city mandate that a starbucks must be on every street corner in the city of Chicago. Maybe that's just me, but it seems like that city has 2x others, including NYC...
Sounds like you're lovin' life, so keep enjoyin' it. Where are you going to wakeboard in Chicagoland?
