nothing like having a pot of freshly brewed, hot coffee made within 3 minutes of pouring water into your coffee maker ... especially on below-zero mornings. My mom turned us on to the Bunn coffee makers way back when. We have used this Bunn since '98 when I bought it at Marshall Field's with a gift card; but, it had seen better days. The coffee wasn't very hot. We weren't getting a full 10-cup pot. As a thank you gift for doing their taxes, my in-laws purchased us a spankin' brand new, sleek-stylin' Bunn. It was sad to decommission the old Bunn, but the time had come. Oh, the memories and conversations shared over coffee made with the old Bunn could fill a book or two; but, here's to a new chapter of overflowing mugs of caffeine and cream. I'm sure it will be just as good ... even better.

"... we're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle!"
The city is awashed in blue and orange today. We are two days away from our home team's first appearance in the Super Bowl in 21 years. It's just as cold today as it was that day Yvonne and I huddled in Daley Plaza in '85 to await the arrival of the team for the ticker tape parade the day after they clobbered the Patriots in New Orleans. Payton. Hampton. Singletary. The Junk Yard Dogs. McMahon. Butler. Gault. Wilson. Dent. Bortz. Richardson. Ditka. Ryan.
It's funny how an entire city can perk up and join together in fervent anticipation of another championship. Chicago is so diverse, yet so united when it counts. Grossman. Urlacher. Gould. Kruetz. Davis. Jones. Benson. Lovie. Hester. Briggs. Rivera. Muhammad. Tait. Vasher. Briggs. Garza. Berrian. Clark. Hillenmeyer. Mannelly. Ogunleye.
GO BEARS!
