Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. So as I announced Wednesday, yesterday was my 40th birthday. I made it. Sometimes there was some question as to whether that would happen. But over the last four or five years, I increased the chances quite a bit by settling into a more sedentary lifestyle. That certainly helped. So where am […]

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I’ve extolled the virtues of family on some of my posts here a few times. My dad is battling some ill health right now and the whole family’s thoughts are with him constantly. My mom is the rock of the family. The epitome of a classic mom. Marian Cunningham from Happy […]

Dude, I’m tellin ya…….. As I enter Day 8 of my battle with the flu, I’ve had some ample TV time and lots of down time to think about things going on around me. First off, is it me or is it just so ridiculous the way the incumbent party jumps to its feet 116 times […]

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. I’ve noticed in the last 30 days or so how a handful of people have addressed me in a very soothing, friendly, caring tone about how I shouldn’t worry; the year 2010 is going to be much better ” than this past year was for me “. These reassurances come from […]

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……. Well, the end of the year is coming near and not a moment too soon. I think I speak for the majority of us who feel that 2009 sucked. Big time. So with that in mind, I am pretty jacked for the coming year. It absolutely can’t get any worse. I […]

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 […]

The show starts at 9pm up at the bar in the Rolling Lanes bowling alley on Joliet Road in Countryside. They […]

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. Tomorrow night, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is now widely acknowledged as perhaps the most popular night of the year for people to go out. I first heard this in the early ’90s when I was a regular on the bar/party scene. I didn’t hear it so much when I first starting going […]

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. So Thanksgiving is just a few days away now. I haven’t really mentioned it much, but I like Thanksgiving as much as the next guy. Hanging out with the family, a huge meal, football all day. Having the day off work if you still have a job these days. The whole nine […]
