One of my recently acquired and newly favorite phrases is... 'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes' which basically means if you are going to knowingly do something stupid, illegal, or out of regulations, you need to be prepared to accept the consequences. I'm amazed however, at the lack of ownership people take for the things they say and do.
Not the greatest picture (from the car) but I am grateful for the sun today.

I finally watched the original Psycho movie, marking another of the American Film Institute's top 100 American movies off my "to watch" list.

The latest trip to the chiropractor for a non-conforming SI joint predicts nothing but walking (for exercise) for quite some time to come. And, for only 15-20 minutes at a time.

Yesterday I got up early and went for a 40 minute walk. Outside. It was 8 degrees. Sadly, this is just the start of the brutal Chicago winte...
