Man date Friday night with Russell, and he got to try out Rocks Lakeview. And I think the food is better. Saturday hit up Green City Market and actually saw our neighbors there, shortly after we saw them packing up the car as we drove out of the garage. It was cooler out, and we ended up heading out to Woodstock after dropping off some apples and poblanos. Ok, maybe we should have rode our bikes down. On the way out to Woodstock, wanted to pick up some storage boxes at IKEA, and knew exactly what to get, but still ended up staying for an hour and a half. I do like that store, but it was pretty crazy on a Saturday. Did see a family spooning on a couch in one of the display setups watching some TV spooned 3 deep. Ended up walking out with a full length mirror. Which we needed. Went to dinner after mass at 1776 Restaurant. Cool thing about that place was that they were offering a 100 mile dinner, where everything was grown or raised within 100 miles of the restaurant. I ended up getting a nice mixed grill of game meats, and the rest of my family each got the 16 oz. prime rib. There was a lot of meat on the table. Watched Eight Below on my parents new TV, one of those fancy Sony Bravia ones. It's got this enhancement feature where movies and tv shows look almost 3-dimensional. Eight Below actually looked like a documentary on Discovery HD Theater, not a movie on ABC Family channel. Sunday had breakfast/lunch at Burnt Toast, and then took the long way home, stopping by Woodfield on the way in. And watching the Bears as I'm posting, having no idea how it ends since I managed to stay away from TVs, Radio, and Internet sites, including Facebook and Twitter.
