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 […]
Like the news….keeping you up-to-date (but the truth)
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. We were waiting for a decent snowstorm to start landing today and into tomorrow to the tune of 5-9 inches. My area would have only gotten about 5 inches. But up near Rockford and that northern area, they were predicting as much as 9 inches. Right up until last night I […]
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. Whereas the Dick Ourada band is a versatile group of guys that have been playing together since the early ’90s and have a […]
Like it or not, here comes winter
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. So WGN weatherman Tom Skilling says the Chicagoland area is in for some rain/snow precipitation this evening and into the night. Nothing major, but our first little taste of seeing some snowflakes hit the ground. Or at least some frozen sleet. Now normally I have a hard time believing Tom Skilling […]
Another enjoyable Thanksgiving
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. Before I get into yesterday’s relaxing (and delicious) holiday, I just have one last warning to offer you NOT TO MISS the show tomorrow night for the Dick Ourada Band. The show starts at 9pm up at the bar in the Rolling Lanes bowling alley on Joliet Road in Countryside. They […]
I don’t mean to ‘diss these Bulls
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. It really just dawned on me last night that so far this season, I really hadn’t talked about the Chicago Bulls at all. I did make a prediction about them in my Dirty Dozen prophecies. I said they will be 43-39 at the very best this year. They are actually more […]
Just to keep you updated on things……
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. Figured it’s been a couple of weeks since I took a look back at some of the posts/events in the news and brought us all up to speed. The Blackhawks, the best sports team in Chicago {See 10/1/09 post: Puck drops at 11AM } as I proclaimed them just before the […]
Pretty please….stop trying to rip me off
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… I feel a little rant coming on. My really close friends would laugh at that because they’ve probably already heard the tirade. I often use my friends as the sounding board to gather and organize my ideas. Then I try and express them decently in this forum. My roommate and I laugh […]
The Chicago Bears…and then a true hero
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. For the second time in 14 calender days yesterday afternoon, the Chicago Bears looked like they could use a hero. In what seemed like a rerun of the game against Cincinnati two weeks earlier, they got pummeled by a rather mediocre team. Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals made the Super Bowl last year, […]
