Air conditioning is either one of the best modern inventions or one of the worst. I can't decide. Without it it is too damn hot. With it it is too damn cold. And currently I have the sniffles and a runny nose and sore throat, which I blame entirely on air conditioning.

Is it just me, or does this sound like one of those sci-fi horror stories where computers become smarter than humans and take over the world?

The city of chicago claims that Lake Shore Drive Reconstruction is on schedule and nearly complete. My morning commute would dispute that. Sure, a lot has been accomplished. And it's much better than it was in June. But I'm not holding my breath for the things they say will be done by the end of September.

Any story with the headline Teens Gone Wild should be much more exciting. Even if it's in the trade paper read by 100% of Chicago area Theater Professionals No one around here is bitter that, once again, according to this publication The University of Chicago doesn't have a theater program.

We've decided this year Chloe gets to call and complain. Clearly I was ineffective last year, even though they promised to print a correction and ammendment. I mean, what the hell.

That's my justifiable anger for the morning.
