Insta-Week

by Caleb on January 13, 2012

The story behind this week’s photos:

Photos 1 & 2 – Edelman Digital Chicago packed up and moved floors – from 63 to 66 in the AON Center. Our new floor is pretty slick – a modern, open floor plan, new kitchen with a ton of food, and cool meeting spaces. I’ll probably have more photos of it coming soon.
Photos 4 & 5 – Miles got pretty sick this week, with his fever at one point going up to 103. A few restless nights for him (which meant a few sleepless nights for us). I stayed home with him a couple of days until he got better. It was a rough couple of days, but he was in good spirits for most of it.
Photos 3 & 6 – Only in Chicago can it go from 50 degrees one day to a blizzard the next.

For more photos on-the-go, you can always follow me on Instagram.

And I’m back. How are you? My holiday was… interesting. More on that later this week. Right now I want to share with you guys a fun exercise I’ve been going through in the last couple of weeks. Last month, I was thinking about what I had accomplished in 2011 and what I wanted to [...]

A Poem For Getting Sick

December 16, 2011

Everyone has to get sick sometimes But that doesn’t mean you have to enjoy it. Instead you’ll spend time writing down some nice rhymes With which to express your annoyment. After getting sick you are told you must rest And make your body especially immobile; But after several hours you get kind of stressed And [...]

Christmas is Magic

December 12, 2011

… at least, for little kids it still is. It’s been so fun sharing that experience all over again with Miles this year. How’s your season going?

Re: Getting Punched in the Face

December 1, 2011

Remember a few months ago, when I said I wanted to box? And then remember when that was at the top of my newly formed Life List? This week, after much delay, I finally got started. And it hurt. But not as much as I thought it would. Mostly I’ve just been sore, but that will ease [...]

Thanksgiving’d

November 28, 2011

Jumping back into the grind after a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend, spent with loved ones curled up by the fire, reading a good book, digitally unplugged. Good times. Now to re-plug, which is always bittersweet – and comes with a bit of friction. How was your weekend?

Please Don’t Go Shopping on Thanksgiving

November 23, 2011

I’ve never been a Black Friday person, but I understand the appeal. When you have a lot of people to shop for, saving money wherever you can is important. Understanding this, retailers have over the years pitted human against human on this mad dash to savings, opening at increasingly ungodly hours to let the madness begin [...]

When (Some) Guys (Sort Of) Invaded Camp Mighty

November 18, 2011

Last weekend, as you know, I attended Camp Mighty in Palm Springs for the first time. I’ve been procrastinating about writing a recap of it for many reasons, some of which have to do with how well many other people have already captured the experience. But mostly, I’ve been struggling trying to nail down how [...]

Mid-Movember Check In

November 16, 2011

So remember when I told you I was growing a mustache for Movember, the movement to raise money for men’s health issues? Well, the month is halfway through now, and this is what it looks like. And I hate it. I really do. I’ve been told I look like a young Clark Gable. Sure, if [...]

The Life List Begins

November 11, 2011

I’m currently flying from Chicago to Los Angeles. It’s a long flight, and it will be accompanied by a long drive. But it’s giving me some much needed introspection time. I need it because I’m having to contemplate my whole life. I’m about to attend Camp Mighty, the awesome brainchild of Maggie Mason and crew. [...]
