Record Dreams

Dylan exploring vinyl at Shuga Records in Whicker Park.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot

Iconic architecture on the Chicago river and the cover of a great Wilco Album.

The Bean

Dylan and I got to Chicago at noon and have been visiting record stores, eating deep dish pizza and seeing the city at night. Gonna see Sam in the morning, then again at the Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to seeing Sammy throw some weight around.

Hangin Loose

Mae looking pretty relaxed after an overtime victory to earn a trip to the final tomorrow afternoon. The Orono girls hockey team beat Proctor\Hermontown in the semis of the Minnesota High School Hockey tournament today and face the far north Warroad Warriors in the finals tomorrow. Go Spartans!!

Iowa Mural

Tracking Sam's phone on the way back to Des Moines from SDSU. Sammy had a personal record of 17.20 meters in the weight throw. He was 15th of 55 throwers. #1 freshman in the MVC.

The landscape of Iowa is much more interesting from space than it is at ground level.

West End

A little bar with a ton of kids in it, and me. I was easily 25 years older than the average age of the other 75 people there.

Bulldog Wrangling

Not sure drinking beer on Griff in front of the Drake diner was a good idea but I had a good time going out with the throwers last Saturday.

Meet Ready

Just water tonight for Sam as he prepares for some throwing at Iowa State tomorrow.

Mexican Sling

Nicole is doing her best to move around with the shoulder still smarting and still sporting a sling. Mexican food in East Village tonight.
