Greys 2008-05-15 21:04:00 Wow. I'm blown away from watching the last two weeks of Grey's Anatomy. It has to do with brain tumors. They're doing brain tumors. McDreamy is doing brain tumors, to be specific. So, I would watch McDreamy take care of a splinter, but brain tumors...gotta watch that. Powerful stuff going on there. Too much. It brings alot back. Too much. So, I watch it anyway, right. Well, it's

. Brain cancer. I'm sorry for him. For his family. Very sorry. One of the articles I read just sickened me. They are still talking about the drug Lou took as if it were manna from heaven. It is still called the latest and greatest, and it wasn't the latest and greatest, THEN, now 3 years ago, how can it be NOW? It is NOT. It extends life 2 months on average, from 1 Read more:Senator
Party Talk 2008-06-09 01:19:00 Was at a graduation party for a friend's son last night. Great party. Lots of people. Lots of food. Lots of laughter. Got to talking to someone I worked with long ago, who I was reconnected with over the past few years through our mutual friend who threw last night's party. Did you follow that? Anyway, she commented on my blog. She happens to be a writer, for real, as in, she gets paid Read more:Party
Slow down 2008-06-14 19:21:00 Slow day on the golf course today. Very, VERY, slow. My buddy got annoyed, REALLY annoyed. OK, it WAS annoying. But you know what? The sky was really blue, the sun was shining, there was a breeze, the grass was green. Life could be worse. Life could be alot worse than sitting around waiting for slowpokes to golf. We could be Tim Russert's family for instance. Your perspective sure c
Father's Day 2008-06-15 10:38:00
Of all his many, many accomplishments, nothing compared to being a father, for him. He came to it at a relatively late age, perhaps he savored it all the more because of that. He loved "his guys", "his buddies", so very much. A fierce protector, giant hero, inspiration, mentor, teacher, sounding board, playmate, practical joker, moral compass and so much more. He still is. Thank you, Lou. Read more:Father
Happy Birthday, Dear Lou! 2008-06-25 09:11:00
June is a bit difficult, there's Father's Day, and then there is Lou's birthday. Today. Last year, we had our first "Founder's Day" at the office. It was to be a tradition, to celebrate Lou's birthday. We went to lunch at his beloved Parthenon restaurant. This year, we have to postpone the outing, we are knee deep in preparation for an important meeting tomorrow. I'm unhappy we have to Read more:Happy

Scenes of Summer 2008-07-13 22:16:00 Summer
in Chicago is the best. Millions of people sit together in the park to watch awesome fireworks while listening to the symphony perform all the traditional favorites. The beaches are filled with sunbathers, volleyball players, toddlers with sand toys and big boys and girls too. This year, they've planted palm trees on "my" beach. A bit strange against the skyscraper backdrop but
Kooza! 2008-08-14 23:42:00 Had the pleasure of seeing Cirque De Soleil, Kooza tonight. It is magical and wonderful and awesome and and why was I the only one in tears at the end?
I think it has to do with being left, alone, in the dark...one lone clown character, wistfully letting his kite go... up, into the darkness...one shining light.....gone.
And I cried.
Lou would have loved this show, he would have. And, I thi
Summer Ends 2008-08-26 19:26:00
As it does every year. There's a slight chill in the air, even during the day. And it smells different, a bit fresher, crisper. The sun is not as warm. It is getting darker, earlier, already. All of a sudden, summer seems over. And it is not yet Labor Day. I used to absolutely adore the beginning of fall, and all that would portend....... new school clothes, supplies, cl Read more:Summer

Last home game today. They clinched yesterday, but that's ok, it was still great to be there today. Magical, really. Nothin really like Cubs fans, I mean, it's only been 100 years since the last world series win. I can't bring myself to really imagine what that would be like. It was good enough to sing Go Cubs Go with the sea of 40,000 Cubs fans today, wis
