The "Windy City"... or... The Four Year Mark!?!?



Driving!!! Wow...

How many hours is that???, it's about 4-5 from here

Expensive... Bring Cash$$, but you will have a good time

I was looking @ hunting trip charters today...
I'm in search of the fastest, cheapest, easiest, way to Isle Royale...

No, I meant the windy city. But, I was telling my dad today where we were going and he freaked out and said, "Are you crazy? Do you know tha'ts the crime capital of the world?" Now, I'm scared to go there. It's 13 hours from Thunder Bay. Is it really that dangerous? Do you know?



Yes, we have an airport, we're not that small

Sorry... In Canada, I'm sure you're a regular Metropolis

Crime capital of the North American Continent is still Washington D.C.,
as far as I know...

Detroit's up there somewhere... I personally was attacked a few years ago
down here, being on the wrong street, at the wrong hour,
after a Baseball Game.

You will be fine in Chicago... It's actually much nicer than Detroit
My GF goes with 3 other girls every year (No Boys)...
And they are always fine...

P.S. I think he's just being a dad

Thanks, that makes me feel better. Yes, you're right my dad is probably just being a dad. I think he's a little paranoid becasue of our line of work, we're both court reporters so we see all kinds of nasty people coming in and out of the courthouse. Anyways, have a great weekend! I even journalled by diet and workout again today, wow, that's two days in a row

[The Monkey Man]

Where have you GONE?

I could have asked you the same question???

I'm planning my triumphant comeback...

Losing the flab along the waistline is first...

Then I get my hernia wrenched on (I'm looking into having a double surgery)

Then I can start lifting heavier things again

(I can't even wear any of my 2x shirts anymore)

How do you feel!?
