GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Recapturing his story
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/recapturing-his-story.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. I've been obsessively reading Errol Morris' 5-part piece in the New York Times. Investigating the life of Amos Humiston, a soldier who fell at Gettysburg. Humiston's story is well-known for Civil War and Gettysburg buffs. His body was found in Gettysburg, unidentifiable, clutching the ambrotype of three children. Through a twisted story, those children were identified by this ambrotype, giving a name to this soldier, their father, as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: I was there when we made history
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-was-there-when-we-made-history.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2008. I was there when we made history. I was lucky enough to receive tickets to go to Obama’s Election Night rally in Grant Park last night. The experience for me was surreal and overwhelmingly emotional. I felt lucky—not just to be at the front lines of this historic moment but also to be a part of a country like ours. But it was Obama’s speech, the full text of which is available here. Which most resonated with me. In the last few months, I’ve been reading up a lot lat...Coming ...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Fred's a popular gent
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/06/freds-popular-gent.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Fred's a popular gent. Looks like there's a lot of interest in Fred (Greif) of Chicago. Anonymous poster, you have some competition- at least on Craigslist's Missed Connections. And just an FYI, according to Above the Law. Get in line ladies! I guess they already had the teacher angles covered with Science Teacher Jeremy and Football Coach Silver Fox so Gym Teacher Fred became (Not Quite) Lawyer Fred. Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 6:35:00 PM CDT. I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE FREDDY GREIF! Is a C...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Satellapalooza
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/satellapalooza.html
Thursday, May 7, 2009. How cool is this? In just the last week or two, Google updated its satellite images of Chicago, including Grant Park. In doing so, they happened to capture Lollapalooza 2007. I have to say that the festival looks a lot tamer from the sky. I tried dropping the Street View figure into the middle of the crowd, but Google wasnt allowing it. Google wouldnt even allow me to drop the figure onto Monoroe. They havent Street Viewed Monroe yet! Of the satellite and the street view. Your Burd...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Oh, and please pass the rolls.
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/03/oh-and-please-pass-rolls.html
Friday, March 6, 2009. Oh, and please pass the rolls. Yesterday afternoon I stumbled upon this little note I jotted down once upon a time. I thought it definitely worth sharing. :). 2003 G. Family Christmas Dinner Conversation. On the topic of sexual promiscuity in college). Mom: "So your body is like a hall.". Dad: "More like an auditorium! A few minutes later, when discussing the propensity for gay guys to make out with straight girls for fun). Dad: "'Please enter the auditorium from the side door!

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Reflections on The Bachelor
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/02/reflections-on-bachelor.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Reflections on The Bachelor. I do have to say that one fantastic bit of Bachelor/ette knowledge gleaned was the existence of Caesar, the seemingly sweet and unassuming limo driver who's stuck with ABC lo these long seventeen seasons, despite his better judgment. Between Chris Harrison giving the bro-hug to Caesar and pounding it with Jason ("Hey, man! I kinda wish Chris Harrison were every guy's BFF. I think the world might be a better place. Well, I never! But let's be genuin...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Another Day, Another Dream
http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/another-day-another-dream.html
Friday, April 24, 2009. Another Day, Another Dream. Every once in a while, I have one of those strange dreams that seems to really outdo all strange dreams that came before it. This dream, which I had just before I woke up this morning, definitely falls into that category. I find myself in a hotel room, reminiscent of a dingy south Florida motel. Pink walls, exterior hallways, sliding patio doors- the whole bit. It's afternoon, and I'm getting ready for something. Mind if I come in? Oh, no," I respond qu...
