'Heart of Gold’ put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch.” – Neil Young, comments written for the liner notes of his 1977 compilation, Decade.
Great quote
“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like,” says Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
Stopped into the ‘Bohemian House’ restaurant last night. I have the Hungarian Langos and Butcher’s Goulash. Fantastic. I highly recommend the place. Located at 33 Illinois Street, Chicago, IL.

This is one of my favorite quotes. I learned this when working with daily newspapers and then with monthly magazines. Each would fill the amount of work that needed to be done to the time that was available. Newspapers would punch out 36 pages every day of content and magazines would push out 120+ pages.
Amazing how deadlines were rarely missed.
I think it’s fair to say that I’m a pretty big fan of Lincoln. Pretty much read everything that I can get my hands on about him.

Anyway, here’s the Outside post.
My Dad has owned an old ‘Ski Nautique’ ski boat for a few years. He likes it but wanted to move up to a slightly newer one. New being relative to the old boat. Here’s a shot of him dragging my brother’s son around the lake.
Here’s a shot of the ‘new’ one:
Nice morning. Going to get into the 90’s here this afternoon so decided that I had better get this in during the early AM.
Here we have a picture of an old EP water ski that was my brother and that I used A LOT back in the day. My Dad dragged it out to so the nephew’s could take a spin on it.
Heard about the Prisma app today. Fun app. Check out the two images below. The first picture is from my iPhone camera. Dawn at our house looking West.
This is from Prisma. Cool…
This last image is one my wife took in Zandvoort, The Netherlands of a kid on a swing with the ocean in the background. The originals really good and I like this quite a bit as well.
