As the blog approaches 5 years old (and a year since any measurable activity), I came across this little gem in Wicker Park last weekend:As you may recall, this is the band that was playing the night the blog was spawned.

If you're bored, have more than a passing interest in the outcome of this week's Phoenix municipal elections and don't mind waiting through seven or eight minutes of preamble, you can hear my debut as a (local) NPR analyst at the KJZZ page. Or you can just go watch the Britney kid cry again, see if I care.

Six people showed up to play volleyball near North Ave. Beach on a Sunday morning. One rode a bike, one rollerbladed, one ran three miles to get there, two walked, and one . . . took a cab. Guess which one was Cleo. :)

How was it for you reverse commuters who head out to the suburbs for work?I got to my red line platform at 8am, giving myself more than double the usual time to get to school for my 9:30 class, and it only took about five minutes longer than it

So I have been kind of reclusive lately, and I apologize. There was a good reason: Ray and I are expecting again--in mid-July. That means I am 18 weeks along and almost halfway to the finish line.

How come every time I see someone I haven't bumped into a awhile (okay, YEARS), I get the urge to say something inane like, "So-and-so made a cameo appearance at so-and-so's place." What's wrong with me? This isn't a movie, and so-and-so isn't a celebrity.Long story short, I saw Jack at Adam's place on Sunday. I feel like I'm in 2001 again.Photos courtesy of Eliina and Eliina's blog

For making the "Cleo vs. 27" birthday so memorable.A text message that I received the morning after:"I can't move. WOOOOOOOO!"I feel like I have a PhD in Kicking Ass and Taking Names after Team NU swept Team Non-NU in laser tag. I hope we're still able to be as awesome 27 years from now.

I think I was the only one who recognized her, until she decided to walk directly past my gawking table and smile at me. She looked pretty good, though her face is a little scary. I feel special now.Off to Napa. Can I bring back anything for you? How about a tasty Merlot or a fickle

Quick question for the Unfocus Group -- what songs help you work out? I'm talking about the song that comes on and you're suddenly going 2 mph faster on the treadmill, or the one that helps you lift an extra 10 pounds. I ask because I'm looking to put more of those songs on my Shuffle, which has a lot of really stale music on it. Mostly this is because I am so behind when it comes to hip-hop --
