This is the second guest post from that world-renowned writer, Fireman Max, here to share more about his upcoming trip to Chicago. Like any growing boy, he gets very excited about FOOD. He figured out how to spell some words by looking at the items in our fridge, and he chose all the photos.

  3. That sounds awesome Fireman Max. And wait til you see what Chicago pizza actually looks like. It's about 1 million times thicker than it is in the one you have a picture of. I bet you will love it!

  4. Ahahaha, I was gonna tell Fireman Max to fire his art director. That's NY pizza! Which is way better than Chicago pizza (I'm ready to mud-wrestle Anon 8:13), and it is not just ME who thinks so. Max, DO NOT watch this but I think your mom should: Jon Stewart on Chicago pizza. It is very funny and there are MANY BLEEPS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrqSizC-T-4 Have a great trip!

  9. Apparently the fire house restaurant is closed due to a fire? I hope that's not true! Maybe you guys can get Chicago hot dogs to go and eat them at a fire station :)

    2. Thanks, Nan! A reader told us about The Firehouse Grill in Evanston, so that's where we are now headed (instead of The Firehouse Restaurant in Chicago which, yes, had a bad fire in December).

  11. Sounds good! Macaroni and cheese is better with ketchup. I see that you're a chocolate type. I'm just a sugar type.

    1. I'm just a mac 'n cheese type, the ketchup ruins it for me!

  12. Ellen! I sat down at the computer just now and the photo of Fireman Max was on the Yahoo computer screen with a link to your article "How Travel Transformed my Special Needs Son's Life." I called my kids over and said look who it is! We were at Hawks Cay at the same time you and your beautiful family were visiting and we seemed to be on the same meal/swim schedule. Hope he has a wonderful time in Chicago. ~Emily

  14. We've got a firehouse restaurant in the DC suburbs if you ever head down this way- http://www.thefirestation1.com/ I enjoy the kitsch. It's also close to the new fire station, which I'm sure Fireman Max would like to visit.

  15. Our granddaughter had a brain injury at birth, and coded at two days old from an allergenic reaction to a medicine has seizures, can't sit up (YET!) and can't walk (YET); has CP, cortical blindness, fed by g-tube, says few words, she is two tomorrow! 1-27.

    Her list of places...she has been to the Children's Museum, the zoo six times, the park, our new library in downtown Indianapolis. She comes to Gram's house we play keyboard piano (virtualpiano.net she plays her piano at home with her feet) I'm spending my Verizon point to take her to the symphony. The bigger trips we will wait and see what this next year brings, the first two years were pretty hard ones, she was re-hospitalized several times, we had to get her weight up which for a bit was a struggle. She is thriving, blabbing, using her limbs now, has an attitude with us and the PT people. We read to her, use sign language, we "describe" everything so she understands what is going on around her as she sees-but only half of everything according to the doctors. She knows all those that frequent her life.She lights up when we are around, she is excited most of the time, unless she feels puny (sick). I love it that your son is doing so many things in life, and the app we hope to be using soon. We have instilled the alphabet, counting, and making sure we give her choices!

    She is at this time our only grandchild! WE DO spoil her. I hope your son gets the chance to have his dream of being in a firehouse and the experiences of life he deserves. There is hope...everyday there is hope!

  16. Hi Fireman Max! I love mac & cheese too (minus the ketchup, though)! And chocolate ice cream is my favorite, yum! Have fun on your trip and thank you for writing again! I love reading your posts. I hope you can come and visit the fire houses here in my town someday! I was driving past one the other night and thought how cool it would be to tour it myself. We could go together!

  17. Fireman Max, I love this post so much. But I am a mustard (not ketchup) person myself. Do you love ketchup because it is red, like a fire truck, or because of the taste? Or both?

  18. My little boy, Milo, LOVES ketchup on his Mac n cheese. And brr won't eat it with a fork. Only a spoon. Enjoy your trip Max!
