Just got back from NYC where my new roomie (Li) and I had a nice visit with Tim Kern (you know him better as ymonster) and Dan Marshall at Last Rites. Li had never been to NYC and in her unforgiving job as my unpaid assistant this summer (she speaks Spanish and Polish and so was translating) her excitement was getting to visit the...

Not a real good week here. Lost a client because the magazine went under, sticking me with three already writ, unsold stories. Joy.
Ah hell, it could be worse. But I'm pissed about it.

Man -- been so busy I've had no time to write...
amethyst:
try harder!

I feel ya. I pack up and move to training camp on Wednesday. Eat, sleep, breathe football for 3.5 weeks. I'm such a sado-masochist.
Hope all is well...when will things chill out a little?

Ugh: Just spent 4 days in bed with the flu. No fun at all.
Playing catch up on soccer stuff is brutal -- Euro 2004 starts this weekend and I've had to do a lot of prep for that. If you see the games, you may well encounter some of my work, as I wrote a "bible" for some of the broadcasters on the teams...

Work continues unabated. But I bought my house outright, so I got something for it!

What up, gangsta?
First round of passing camps are done and we have the first official mini-camp next week. Yee-haw!
Going to my first WNBA game tomorrow night. Mystics vs. someone at he MCI Center. I'll go to anything once.
How's the house?
Just wanted to say what's up and make sure Adu isn't keeping you too busy.
Tell Lisa I said hi.

Been so long since I wrote, and so much has happened.
In brief: I bought out my partner yesterday and am now the sole owner of my house. Yay! Writing that final cheque for $10K was pretty tough, but it is done and now I can move on.
Work continues to bludgeon me into small, pulpy pieces of goo. Frederick Adu deserves a fruit basket...

Wish your Mom all my best and keep me up to date.
We're living the same life right now, at least in terms of work. On top of regular day stuff, which has been nuts, I also covered a dinner for the Leslie Moore Foundation last MOnday, Ray Lewis' celebrity auction Thursday night and his celbrity bowling tourney Friday night, to end 2 and a half straight weeks of work. I was beat heading into the weekend.
Only wrote for the Friday night gig, but shot pics for all three and turned them around pretty quick.
Nice on the house. You'll have to take some pics as you re-decorate.
Later bro and tell everyone I said hi. I think I'm going to have Seth do up my other arm after I return from Fiji, probably to celebrate the end of training camp in early September.

This week just gets better and better, doesn't it. Man, do I need aspirin.
A-Frames tomorrow nite. WOO-HOO! Any Chicagoans, look for Hannah and I there... (we're the cute ones with all the tattoos)
FINALLY off the Freddy Adu train. Man, does that get old.
hey, check me out in the new ITA.
Edited April 24 to add:
Oh, wait, I'm back on. Kill me now.

Ah yes the flurry of hurrying, then waiting, that is the NFL draft. I actually missed Saturday, which was very slow with no first round pick, as I attended a wedding in good ol Cleveland.
9 am flight Sunday morning, straight to the office. For not having a first rounder I'm pretty excited about what we added to our team. Getting KJ from Jax for a fourth was great. I worked with him a year when we were with the Browns, so I'm pretty pumped about him joining the Ravens.
Tat is fantastic and my girlfriend always grabs my shoulder, through my shirt, telling me she's feeling up "my girls." I'm going to show it to Seth this weekend. I'm dropping off a few tickets to the Spring Football Fest for he and the family/friends on Saturday and then I'll probably bump into them at the event as well, on the concourse of our stadium.
That's it for now. Time to bang out an article on our guys that did well for the Cologne Centurions (NFL Europe) over the weekend. Damn football trying to invade soccer land.
Later bro and tell Hannah I said hello.

Woo hoo! Got the garden started today, perhaps a little early for Chicago's notoriously fickle weather but since we haven't been below freezing in a month, I think we're OK. Normally I wait until Mother's Day but I got the onions and strawberries in and the artichokes resucitated. Also planted the window boxes and street boxes with pansies and cleaned up all the scrub from...

You're dating Hannah? Please tell her Misha says HI
She was kind enough to buy some of my art work when she was visiting New Orleans. And she is a rockin chick!
