I recently went to the Victoria's Secret Grand Opening on Michigan Ave and got "up close and personal" with some of the Victoria's Secret Models. Can I just make this observation? Hey, Marissa Miller and the other girls looked great but is being "that skinny, that attractive?" Not to me!
Stretching is so important but so many of us don't do enough of it. I recently went to Exhale Spa in the Gold Coast for a massage that not only felt great, but also helped stretch muscles I didn't know I had.
I know many of you guys out there would NEVER consider getting a facial. I guess it's not a "man-ly" thing to many of you. Hey, if you're one of those guys who feels that way, "to each his own." Me on the other hand, I DESPERATELY need a facial every few months and I received a great one yesterday at Exhale Spa in the Gold Coast.
I'm one that usually doesn't like to eat a heavy meal late but a few weeks ago, I made an exception!
I was working for ESPN at Georgetown as part of their Midnight Madness broadcast. My partner, Bill Rafftery recommended we go to one of his favorite spots after, Martins in Georgetown.
A few Sunday mornings ago I was on Fox Channel 32 for Bears Game Day Live. I HATE the early morning TV shows because I look like I'm still sleeping and in this case, my face was all puffed up...which is what happens when you eat as much salt as I did the night before.
Over the Labor Day weekend I suffered a boating accident. The wife and I went to New Buffalo, Michigan for the first time. We met up with my buddy and his girlfriend to enjoy a weekend of boating. My friend Chris Condotti owns a racing boat, a Fountain, so we raced our way from New Buffalo to South Haven for a little lunch. Once we arrived, we tried to dock the boat and that's where things went wrong.
I was at the Illinois Back Institute yesterday afternoon watching one of the 30 minute specials featuring Dr. Jeff and his team. While watching the show, I realized the impact Dr. Jeff has made on many people's lives.
Last night I went to a Michigan Ave Magazine event. It was there one year anniversary party and honored the September issue with Bears QB Jay Cutler on the cover. YES, Cutler showed despite his "showing" the night before in Green Bay.
I've written before about my affection to Red Bull...if you haven't seen my previous blog, I talked about jugging 2 cans of Red Bull (sugar free) before every college basketball game I call on ESPN. Now, I'm not jumping off the Red Bull Wagon, but the after effects had me searching for something else.
I like sushi but I don't LOVE it like some of you out there. I'm always amazed with those people who say they can eat sushi EVERYDAY. Come'on, you've got to have a little pizza, steak, chicken parm every so often.
Anyway, I've never met anyone who doesn't LOVE the restaurant NOBU (my wife Monica's favorite!). I've been to the NOBU in South Beach, Las Vegas, Mykonos Greece, and now New York. I was invited by my good friend Pete Vasilios Rezos and his group and talk about a feast!!! Ok, my man Pete took over and ordered enough food for an army (always good to go with someone who knows what their doing). I'm telling you this because if you're like me, you usually eat sushi and still feel a little hungry, right? Not last night!!! Pete ordered:
