Snowy Chicago

Though home from the US, I've been following the snowstorms there. This picture, from Associated Press, is my favourite so far. Makes Chicago look like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow.

More fun with Photo Booth

Maggie tries out her new Godparents

Heeeere's Maggie!

Ta-dah! The charming, laughing, Beethoven-loving Maggie Mae Swain of Kingfield, Maine. (With Godparents Karen and Adrian.)

Photo Booth rocks

Having great fun playing with Photo Booth, a snapshot software program that comes with new Macs. Basically, the Mac's built-in camera can snap you in any number of styles.

Gluttony, USA

Fancy a dessert in Gepetto's? It helps to have a Pavarotti-sized appetite.

Icicles in Maine

Walking in and out of Karen's Eustis home is not without its dangers. Large stalactites guard the domain.

Gepetto's Julie

Julie loves Gepetto's. Julie loves cocktails. Julie loves mittens. Put all three together and you have a happy Mrs Swain.

Cold Chicago

Chicago has been about minus 20 degrees (celsius) over the last week. This poor critter, under a tree in suburban Antioch, froze where he fell.

Superbowl party, Da Girls

The Chicago Bears lost the Superbowl. I watched it last Sunday in the Chicago apartment of a friend of Erik's (pictured left), with Sarah and Julie. I was a little delicate from a bar reception the night before. Danged age.
