Yet another institution goes out of business
Dude, I’m tellin ya………… Despite the Bears comeback victory, Sunday was still a sad day for many in the Chicagoland area. Yet another decades-old business and a sentimental landmark for many had to shut its doors. Kiddieland, the family-run amusement park for children in the suburb of Melrose Park celebrated its last day this past […]
Survivor Episode 2 Loaded With Surprises
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………… Initially, I was disappointed with this past Thursday’s Survivor episode. I watched it with one of my buddies who is a big fan and we both found it quite entertaining. That was mainly because of the humorous comments (at least to us) that we made throughout the show. I found myself disappointed […]
Some recommendations from me to you
Dude, I’m tellin ya………… When I was at the WhiteSox game the other night, I was really appreciating the fact that this was the last game I would be going to this year. The boys and I were really enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the ballpark as true fans do. The product on […]
A Couple of Updates and Random Thoughts
Dude, I’m tellin ya………….. I thought I’d go back and address a couple of points or predictions I made recently and see how they came out. Maybe offer up a couple of new random thoughts or observations as well. In my first-ever blog on this site, I ranted about the special treatment that celebs get—-particularly […]
Survivor season kicks off this past Thursday
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……………….. Before I get into the first episode of the latest season of Survivor that premiered this past Thursday (9/17), I wanted to share a little story.

The Big, Bad Chicago Bears Look Like Teddy Bears Again
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… First off, I wish….I wish that I had posted something on here prior to Sunday night’s Bears game. Now it looks easy for me to rail against new Bears QB Jay Cutler and the team in general. But ask any of my friends, family, acquaintances, and many people I didn’t even […]
Here’s to another upcoming season of Survivor
Dude, I’m tellin ya……. Yes, I admit it. Sometimes I listen to Neil Diamond or Mariah Carey music. Sometimes I watch reruns of Friends. I almost——ALMOST—teared up watching Million Dollar Baby when the girl boxer got paralyzed. And when Edith Bunker died on All in the Family. And I admit that I am a big-time, rabid fan […]
Bottoms Up ! If you can still afford it…..
Dude, I’m tellin ya……. Before I even get into the pocket draining, depressing experience I just had, I want to give you a great referral on a website. A friend of mine just launched a website called www.ShareMyShot.com He posts recipes and reviews on tasty shot concoctions and encourages others to post theirs as well. […]
Government agencies that actually deserve a hand (no kidding)
Dude, I’m tellin ya………. I don’t mean these government places need help or assistance——-I’m talking about a pat on the back. A congratulations for doing a good job and a thanks. No……I’m not currently sleep deprived or two sheets to the wind over here. I have been relying on one government agency to personally stay afloat for […]
