&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;So first off, apologies for my hiatus from The Little Things.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I blame stress, a nasty flu virus and some residual laziness caused by both.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;Ah, Lincoln Park. Home of frat daddies and beachcombers. Diversity!&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;
As I strapped on my stalker camera I thought to myself, of all the glorious Chicago neighborhoods, what better place to spot sexy shoppers and post beach hotties working it in the summer&#039;s breeziest trend?

 <title>There&#039;s more to Geja&#039;s than great fondue</title>
 <link>http://www.windycitizen.com/blogs/in-vino-felicitas/2008/08/08/theres-more-to-gejas-than-great-fondue</link>

&lt;p&gt;
You might know &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.gejascafe.com/&quot;&gt;Geja&#039;s Cafe&lt;/a&gt; (on Armitage just east of Clark) for being voted one of Chicago&#039;s most romantic restaurants, and it certainly fits that bill.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
But another important attribute is its extensive and well-chosen wine list, as well as its wine-themed decor. Note the bottles that line the partitions between booths. (Please excuse the color ... it was the red &amp;quot;mood lighting.&amp;quot; See? Romantic.)
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The War of American Independence..(I don&#039;t think so)</title>

&lt;p&gt;I come to you with my head hung low. 150 Fridays implies that I should be blogging at least  once a week, but perhaps a more befitting name might now be &amp;quot;33 every third Fridays.&amp;quot; (somehow that doesn&#039;t have the same ring to it does it…) Please refrain from recalculating my new&lt;br /&gt;age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alas, I am sure it&#039;s been a tough few months without my proper guidance on how to spend a Friday evening. How have you managed?&lt;/p&gt;
