19 years ago today in Ravello, Italy on the Amalfi Coast ❤️💍. What a journey that is happily still going.

Friday night we had a delicious dinner at our favorite Italian eatery in Chicago - Piccolo Sogno - which means ‘little dream’ in Italian.

At a temp like 92-degrees Blue Heeler pups run out of energy!! Portofino has only gone around the block (& consumed from a bowl someone nicely put out) but still he’s smoking hot!

Excite! Lincoln Park (Chicago) private residence with a lovely garden in the home’s side lot.

A lovely Saturday out with Portofino. Wonderful flowers outside of the Edward McCormick Blair house (c1995) by architect & Yale professor, Peter de Bretteville. 636 W Willow in Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

I’m truly surprised how provincial my fellow Americans are regarding USAID. Ignorance with US government programs of goodwill is on you. Barbados, for example, is at risk of a tsunami if there is an earthquake. While perhaps silly to some, easy to understand signs like this are there to help people.

Our trip to the Big Island this week is nixed due to postponed surgery. If we cannot see an active volcano, then here is 4yrs ago this weekend with Portofino in the snow

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Buddy Guy last night - he’s 88. Legend bluesman 🎸👏 He walked around the club (it’s his) for everyone and then went outside onto S Wabash. Playing the whole time.

It seems like it was a long time ago since we were enjoying Barbados for the holidays. It was only two weeks ago 🤯. The ocean waters do bring a smile to my face and a relaxed feeling in my soul.

I see ABC is airing their annual ‘The Sound of Music’ - while in Salzburg this year we did the tour. There are so many elements where true Hollywood liberties were taken. Almost nobody in Austria has watched it ☺️

Portofino tonight is just doing his thing. He loathes smart devices & is a typical cattle dog - meaning if he’s not working hard he’s a Velcro dog. Needs close contact to owners. They punch so far above their weight it’s scary. I’m surprised @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social hasn’t had a murder show w/one

With brutal cold temps arriving tonight I guess we’re closer to it feeling like that time of the season 🎄🎅. That doesn’t change the fact Portofino hates his photo taken. 🐾

If you live in Chicago and are not outside - why? It’s damn nice out with 50+ degrees. We’re doing nosework in an industrial part of the city. The brick building was a brewery with Sipi Metals Corp (since 1905 & still active) next door.

Had to update bio on free speechland 😤

The number of posters that cheer & snark on the death of a CEO here on BlueSky is rather repugnant. A real Twitter/X vibe of users on here that I wished was left behind 🤷‍♂️
