We've Moved!!

Mike and I have decided to try city living for a year. We have moved to the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago. It's a pretty cool area with big old homes and condos. Also, it's a pretty diverse area. We like it so far. We've been exploring and finding new restaurants and places to hang out. Another plus is that we are close to my sister Sarah and Mike's sister Jill. Our friend Britta lives close too.

The commute to our jobs is much better. Mike's been taking the blue line to the Metra station and then the train out to work. He was very excited to get his CTA Plus card. I can take the blue line to court and I drive out to the office but its a much shorter drive.

Hopefully, we'll get all of these boxes unloaded soon. I finally found our dishes and silverware and Mike's been organizing the basement.

We can't wait for summer in the City.

Male Enhancement Ads

Since I am no longer leading a life of leisure, my time to do things I really like has been limited. I don't have nearly as much time to knit, watch tv or blog.

In fact, my Murder She Wrote viewing has really suffered. When I do get to watch it, I'd rather it be free from male enhancement drug ads. I mean, WHY?! From my years in marketing, I would guess the demographic for this show would be mainly older females. They all show some hoochy young woman grinding on the dance floor (all that's missing is the pole). Then some older male comes in. Who are they kidding?! Do they really think mature women are going to be lured into buying this product by young chickies and goofy looking older men who apparently can't get it up anymore? What's next ads for Rogaine and Corvettes?

I would expect to see these ads on Spike TV, ESPN or during Monday Night Football. NOT on the Biography Channel during Murder She Wrote.

The whole thing is putting a damper on one of my favorite past times. I may need to start Tivo-ing it so I can fast forward threw these flights of middle-age male fantasy.
