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…………. Don’t let the title of this one deceive you. It’s not a deep-rooted psychological examination of the correlation of video games and aggression. Hell, it hurt my head just to type those words. I’m not bright enough to pull off something like that. It’s just that I witnessed something yesterday that […]

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 […]

Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I was talking with a friend of mine recently, and we were remembering some of the more thoughtful and cool gifts that we have either given or received thru the years. Both of us lamented the fact that unfortunately most people don’t put a hell of a lot of thought into […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dude, I’m tellin ya’…………… First off, if you didn’t make it out for the Dick Ourada band this past Saturday night, then you really missed out. The band did three long sets and an encore including a little Ozzy (Crazy Train), a Waylon Jennings tune (Luckenbach Texas), a Grateful Dead tune (One More Saturday Night), […]

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 […]
