I have an odd fascination with Joel Osteen.
So much for posting more, right? Well, I do at least “tweet” semi-frequently. If you are looking for me, following me on twitter might be a reasonable plan.

I haven’t posted in an eternity. I apologize deeply for that. I’ve been off working like a mad man, getting married, and taking care of our new dog Watson. He is stellar. Anyway, I’m going to try to start posting again, just thought I’d mention it.

Rose vs. Beasley
I just read that Derrick Rose’s ‘spiritual advisor’ is Jesse Jackson. While I was firmly in the Rose camp, consider my position wavering.

I first heard about Southport Grocery about a year ago at a wedding. I’m always looking for a great brunch spot and a new acquaintance swore by this place. We finally made our way over here on a…
My Kid Can Paint That
Last night, we watched an intriguing documentary called My Kid Can Paint That about a young artist named Marla Olmstead. By young, I mean four years old. I think she is now 7. Marla’s paintings are amazing for someone at any age. The documentary is about more than a kid that can paint though. It’s about her family life, her rise to fame, a 60 minutes piece calling into question the...
Back from Seattle
I’m recently back from Seattle some observations -
1. Cleanliness
I am not sure how Seattle got this all figured out but I am impressed. While most major U.S. cities have a cleanliness issue (understatement), Seattle is remarkably clean. Even at Safeco Field, home of the Mariners, the entire stadium borders on spotless. You might say that could have something to due with sparse attendance...

No more blogger.
My old blogger blog is now out of business. I won’t be maintaining it, or linking to it from chrismilone.org. If you liked that blog, just google me and I’m certain you can get to the archives for essentially ever. Tumblr rules. Long live the Tumblr.
Hard to Believe
This may be difficult to believe for many of you, but today is the first day that I’ve ever connected my own computer to a wireless network. I just have a desktop at home and I always use the cord for any work laptops, that is until now. Nice to meet you 2002, my name is Chris.
Fixed It!
At long last, I’ve changed the theme to this tumblr again. It should be more readable now for all of you whining PC users, so you can leave me alone now. Now if I just took the time to post again. :)
