Good Old Oak Park #13 [posted by Troy] We had lunch in Oak Park today, which is ironic, since I was reading about the Project for Public Places list of the Top 20 Best Neighborhoods and Districts in North America and OP was listed at #13. We haven't been in OP for a while and then there it was online. Destiny. Anyway, the article is worth looking at. For our world travelers, there is also a list of best neighborhoods around the world. 10:43:42 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []  Google It! Make the Yule Blog Great [Posted by Kim] Some have noticed the new Holiday version of our Blog in 50's style Christmas and a few have asked, "What's a Yule Blog". So, let me tell you the story about the Yule Blog. The term Yule Blog originated from the Yule Log, which was at one time a large log of wood that was celebrated for starting the Christmas eve fire. The Yule Blog is the celebration of the changing of the Blog theme to ring in the Christmas season. Troy and I realized that the Yule Blog must be launched in celebration before we took our first sip of egg nog, hung the first ornament on the tree or purchased our first present of the season. So we sat together one night brain storming for the entire 10 minutes as we erected the first annual Yule Blog and enjoyed our first glass of the nog. Don't forget Santa's Comin' to Town! Happy Yule Blog Everyone! 12:39:23 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []   Pipe Clearners Does anyone even smoke a pipe anymore? [posted by Troy] When I think of pipe cleaners, I mostly think of arts and crafts. Look at these glasses! No one uses them to clean pipes, so I think we need create a new name for them. How about fuzzy sticks? 12:14:03 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []  Google It!
