Bound for LA



I guess I can officially say Courtney and I are moving to Los Angeles! Today was my last day at Grubb & Ellis. Seven and a half long years of drawing maps, updating SF numbers and working with slicksters. Everyone was great today and they even bought me a Mitchell & Ness Lakers jersey. Pretty cool. The Pea and I depart October 1st. I'm buying him a case of cheese in a can for the trip.

Courtney will move in December. Wedding is still on for June 14th in Philadelphia.

Thank goodness she is now Engaged!

My niece Taryn parked on the street & saw this on her mirror. So what did she do? She called her Fiancee Joe & told him she was "Trapped" in her car! Joe was at work but still came'a runnin! When he got there he swiped the Praying-mantis off the mirror and Swiped Taryn too...

  • True Story too...except Joe only WANTED to swipe Taryn...

Have you ever actually seen a Hillman?

I know we have some Teachers in the Family...Chicago Teachers are Pissed!

Depending on who you believe, they make between $72,000 & $76,000 a year...Before Benefits are calculated...

  • They were offered a 16% raise over four years & turned it down
One of the protesting Teachers was quoted saying this..."This is an amazing display of democracy," said Rick Sawicki, a 7th grade teacher at Evergreen Middle School. "It is a wonderful lesson for children and adults alike. I'm honored that we are all sticking together. We all want what is fair. We want to make sure everyone is treated fairly, just like I teach my children."

  • The High School graduation rate in Chicago is around 53% of students that enter High School  actually Graduate High School...
How pathetic!

Last week I read on Facebook someone saying..."worst concert ever"...so she continues on

"Tonight I'm not going to show my ass," she said, according to US media."I'm going to show my feelings. How's that for living dangerously?"
