What It's Like to Be Roger

This weekend the New York Times Magazine had an interesting peek into the life and home of Roger Ebert. Ebert and his wife, Chaz, live in a 4 1/2 story town house in Chicago. Does anyone know where? Just wondering, not that we're gonna .. uh.. stalk him . .. or anything..
Some non-movie related bits about Rog that we bet you didn't know:
- Roger loves his rice cooker and not only to cook rice. He also cooks oatmeal, stews, soups and pasta in it. He's considering writing a rice-cooker cookbook.
- At almost all times Roger is wearing a pedometer. It helps him rack up the number of steps he takes per day, which helps him lose weight.
- Roger doesn't believe in napping in the same position as you sleep in.
- Roger takes more pride in being a bad artist than in his career being a newspaperman.
- He's had the same pair of slippers for 20 years. (EW! EW! EW!)
- Roger said he and his wife are pretty much vegetarians at home but admits that if he had to choose his last supper it'd be Steak 'n' Shake - a super steak burger with onion and pickle, ketchup and mustard, an order of chili mac, a side of fries and a Coke.
