There are two sides to every love story…and you won’t want to miss this fresh and contemporary musical masterpiece from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown. THE LAST FIVE YEARS is an emotionally powerful and intimate show that chronicles a young couple’s relationship, from meeting to break-up… or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the most heartbreaking and universally-felt moments of modern romance. Wonderfully rewarding, bittersweet and poignant…Don’t miss this fantastic show!

Yarg! My hand-me-down old mountain bike has gone amiss from my back yard. Tsk Tsk to me for not locking it up. Worth nothing but nostalgia. ’97(?) Trek mountain bike, lots of stickers on it (beer stickers, environmental, farming, skiing), had an unfinished wood basket on the back and an extremely rusty chain. black with teal accents. if you see it, let me know! Thanks, y’all.

We lost a dog around the Kenwood-Howard Gnesen area.  His name is Max, he is a 10-year-old yellow lab with our phone number on his collar.  Have you seen him?

Having attended the United Way Chili Cook-off numerous times, I have two pieces of advice to those who either have never gone before or don’t easily learn from past mistakes:

1) Don’t wear a jacket or sweatshirt into the event. It’s pretty warm outside this year, so maybe you wouldn’t have done that anyway, but my point is that no matter what the weather is like outside, there are 40 different kinds of chili being cooked for a giant crowd of people inside. It gets hot.

2) It’s best to go to this event with someone you don’t mind sharing food with. Instead of the two of you getting two portions of everything, just get one portion and share. If you like that particular chili, get a second portion. If you don’t, move on. You don’t want to waste a lot of time and stomach on a chili you don’t like, because there are many that you will like if you can get to them before they run out.

2009 United Way Chili Cook-off
Sept. 17 | 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. | DECC
$6 for adults; $3 for kids

Also, I should note two art openings going on tonight (Sept. 17) for your post-chilifest enjoyment:

1) “Burning Bridges,” new paintings by Eric Dubnicka at Washington Gallery from 5 to 7 p.m.

2) Photography by Nate Lindstrom at the Spiritual Deli from 7 to 9 p.m.

Randy is in Solvay House, 801 Baylis St., awaiting a liver transplant. I don’t believe he’s on the short list. You know what your duty is. He’s not the Rugged Fish he once was.

My wife, kids and I are traveling home to Duluth in mid October and this will be my first trip back home since having children. The oldest will be 18 months in October and we need some activities for the days since the nights will be spent in Gary bars. (yes the kids too)

I have the common list of the zoo, aquarium, children’s museum and trains. Along with walking the tracks in Morgan Park and showing them were I learned to get into trouble. I need some suggestions of other things to do.

If you could drop me some suggestion in the comment stream, that would be great.

Arguably a little late. Alan Turing received an apology from UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown for his “appalling” treatment.

Now where’s his knighthood?
