As I’ve alluded to previously, Sara, Evie and I were featured in a magazine recently.  So you can see us in the current issue of Chicago Magazine, available at all retail outlets.  🙂  It is just a one page fluff piece on picking baby names, no big deal, but it does have a picture of us.

Here is the weird part…check out the comment someone left on the webpage:

With regards to our “City Life” article..”A name game”
Please…You 30 somethings are killing me…you want to name your kid some thing that will go well with sports? Guess what? Your kid will be interested i what he wants despite you trying to live vicariously thru him. Dell is the drunk down the street, Riley is the ubnfriendly dog with the runny eye across the street, Darious is a gay greek, Dean is a nerd Edward is my drunk uncle and Harvey is a 6′ tall imaginary rabbit so I guess now those names are out. Finley is a border collie I know, August is a month and Keller, well Keller is just a last name that 30 somethings use to name their children. How about Othello?

Wow!  What bitterness!  I’m so glad that it was only about the other couple and not us!! We would have been pretty upset.  Unfortunately, the article itself does not seem to be online.

So we survived the big Thanksgiving week!  Rachael moved back from Japan and arrived on Saturday.  Sara’s family arrived Tuesday night, more of my family arrived on Wednesday and finally my dad arrived the day of.  So we had 11 people (plus Evie) here for the big meal (and Packer game!).  We had lots and lots of food and we’re still working on the left-overs.  I really enjoyed it.  I kind of felt like, “wow, this is what it’s all about” you know?  It was great to have our own place with room for everybody and everybody got to spend time with the baby.  And I think everything went very smoothly and it wasn’t really as much work as I expected it to be.  Next up, Christmas!

Finally, I had a real “ah-ha” moment today.  Am I crazy or in Weapon of Choice, is Fatboy Slim referring to the Dune books by Frank Herbert when he says “if you walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm”?
