Today I have spent money on a t-shirt featuring the Bears’ head coach with no shirt on and a Walter Payton jersey because when I go Chicago Meatball I go full Chicago Meatball.

Snowy day at the corner of Clark and Addison. Good morning from Chicago.

This, this is the perfect Chicago winter day. Gentle snow falling, not enough to screw up the roads too badly. Chilly but not bone chilling.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. May your turkey be moist, your spirits be high, your family drama be minimal, and your drinks strong.

Another dad and I just bonded on this flight over our shared love of Southwest Airlines pretzels. Your mid-40s are an absolute rollercoaster of excitement, kids.

Got to the airport at 6:13 pm. Flight boards at 6:25. I was through security with time to go to the bathroom and at the gate by 6:18. The ideal airport experience.

Nothing like an empty Four Loko can on the sidewalk to remind you that you are, in fact, back in Wrigleyville

I always thought as I got older I’d get more conservative. But I do not care what you spend your SNAP funds on or who you marry. I do want everyone to pay their fair share of taxes, and if you have a bit more, you pay a bit more.

Shota’s a free agent and if he goes, he leaves a legacy as one of the generally happier human beings to ever take the mound in pinstripes at the corner of Clark and Addison. And if he re-signs, it’s a bit sunnier on the north side for however long he stays.

One of the most underrated things about being done with marathon training is being able to work out JUST FOR FUN. I don’t have to run a set number of miles, I don’t have to stress about missing a workout. I can just go to the gym and zone out.

Just ran into my 20-something neighbors who were coming home from the bar drunk with boxed wine and Italian beef and look, I love the life we’ve built but there is the teeniest, tiniest part of me that misses those days.
