This is the second guy to tell me that I can't ride the Seg into the park - but he doesn't quite seem to grasp the irony here.

How this for a spectacular

How this for a spectacular shot? Chicago's own version of the Champs D'Elysee, a breathtaking view made even more magnificent with the subtle addition of the Segway.

Dress rehearsal before the

Dress rehearsal before the big show. Sometimes I like to come out on the stage before the crowds show up, when everthing is still and quiet, no costumes or makeup, without the glare of the spotlight, and just take in the moment.

(yeah, this is not a great shot, you have to squint a little to see the Segway on the stage)

"I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *Segway*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object."

Tailgating at last week's Bears game. Normally a raucous affair, the Segway refused to whoop it up, preferring instead to keep true to the assigned post of Designated Driver.

No, sillies, you're supposed to ride them. I guess noone reads instruction manuals these days. Sheesh!

Had to take a brief moment to pause here at this vista point to survey my future.

One day, lad, all this will be yours.

Notice the official ticker-tape?





Apparently I was not the only one who had this idea. We quickly became friends of course but neither of us were Sox fans or actually that interested in baseball...

Here we are in front of Mr. Farrakhan's house. Despite putting on my best bowtie, I was not granted an audience with the man and will have to find another avenue for pitching my million-Segway march!

It was only after months and months of patience and diligence that I was finally accepted by the flock and allowed to glide freely among them as we gathered around the watering hole.
