Say Goodbye Good

How best to give a final salute to Chicago? Howzabout with a sausage dipped in melted chocolate ice cream! Roosevelt does just that at our going away party.

"I want to talk about the story of Jim and Joe"

That's how Roosevelt starts a lot of conversations right now--at first all of us thought that the other had read him the story of Jim and Joe. But, in fact, the story of Jim and Joe is a creation of Roosevelt's mind.

Facts about Jim and Joe come in fits and starts, often while driving in the car. But we know this:

1) Jim and Joe are friends.
2) Jim and Joe are chefs.
3) In fact, Jim and Joe are "the best cooks I've ever seen"
4) Jim and Joe bake delicious pies.

Happy Birthday Time



We'd tossed all our candles in the runup to the move, so we had to celebrate Janice's 21st again, since those were the only ones we had left. Roosevelt led the celebration with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" and then helped in blowing out the candles.
