New year off to a bang already
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. So far the year is only four days old. But in several regards, it’s already off to a flying start. At least in Chicago and the surrounding area. First off, I want to remind you about the West 34 gig coming up at Rolling Lanes in Countryside, IL on Friday, January 15. […]
The Dirty Dozen Prophecies…….An Update
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. Back on November 5, 2009 I posted a dozen predictions/prophecies about the next 14 months in the world. Because things have been just as wacko in the last 6 weeks as it ever is, I thought it would be fun to see how many I have come close to in just these 6 […]
Memorable Christmas Presents…..Pt. 2
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. As I recollected some of the amusing and cool gifts I have gotten thru the years for Christmas last week, I actually had to cut it short. The post was getting a little long and I still had some thoughtful and memorable gifts to remember. But that’s the nice thing about […]
Here’s another truly great band for ya
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…………. After everyone had such a great time seeing the Dick Ourada band last month, I wanted to turn you on to another extremely talented group of musicians I know.

On Friday afternoon, I got together with some of the boys from the fantasy baseball league that I play in. We had some beers and made several toasts. […]
A Couple of Departures; One Good, One Bad
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. Yesterday was a day where I learned of a couple of farewells happening in the world. Actually, I did know that one was imminent. But the other one caught me a bit off guard. You could also say that one departure was a good one. The other one I am a little disappointed to hear […]
The Dirty Dozen
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I had to pat myself on the back last night after Mariano Rivera recorded the last out for the Yankees for them to win the World Series. Did I call this one pretty good or what? In earlier posts, I predicted the Yankees win it in 6. They did. I predicted […]
Updates……We Got Updates Here…..Get your ice-cold updates !!!
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. The Bears tried to save a little face yesterday against the hapless Cleveland Browns and accomplished that goal—-a little bit. I didn’t think there could be a worse team in football than the Detroit Lions after we played them. But Cleveland sucks pretty bad too. And despite the Bears easy victory, […]
