Monday Morning Coffee Break

I had a really good weekend and am looking forward to the Memorial Day holiday. I had the floors refinished in my new place on Saturday. It's only the first round of work, but I hope to be moved in by the second week of June. Yesterday, I attended my first ever Goose Island MBA reunion. Great beer & great food! In case you missed it, the Blackhawks are headed to the Stanley Cup Finals! Here is some news and a video to get your Monday moving!

Today, I am finally making my first trip to Hot Doug's. The "Game of the Week" is Ostrich Sausage with Cumin Mustard Cream, Tabasco Olives and Aged Piave Cheese. Sounds delicious and you can throw in some duck fat fries! Head over to the New York Times website and you can hear their new album High Violet streaming in it's entirety. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
