The guy who made me listen to talk radio…Nick Digilio
Posted in media, tagged bravo, Nick Digilio, radio on December 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
To me, talk radio has meant politics (snore) or winning a free meal to fill-in-the-blank restaurant radio sponsor (ooh, do I get a free shrimp cocktail with that too?! zzzz) Not interesting. Boring. Dull. Time to switch to music if I ever accidentally get on one of those stations – thank God for presets.
Well, for [...]

~ A “proper” Yule Log
For the few years that they’ve broadcast the Yule Log here in Chicago, I’ve looked forward to waking up in the middle of the night and taking in a mesmerizing hour or so of relaxing fireplace carols. Not this year!! Shame on Channel 9 for putting on some cheap imitation of [...]
Weather fatigue…

I’m having a hard time this year feeling festive and feeling guilty that I don’t feel more festive. I do know that I’m not alone – much of the northern part of the country is really getting wallopped with cold, ice, and snow. Yesterday, we got the 24 hour snow. Now we’re in the freezing [...]

…is a sunny 50-degree day. Looks like I’m going to get an eight inch lump of coal full of snow and ice in my stocking…

“Seattle paralyzed by chance of snow”
“RECORD-SETTING SNOWFALL SLAMS LAS VEGAS”
“Rare snow falls in south Louisiana, Miss., Alabama ”
“Surprise flurries warm Houston hearts
Fluffy flakes bring delight to some, consternation to others — and tie a 64-year-old record”
Aaahhhh…I can handle the next 10 inches of snow and ice coming tonight much better now! (But [...]

Stubbornness…

I’ve often wondered about this personality attribute. As seen this week with Blago, it can be a very detrimental, annoying, and maddening trait. People who dig in their heels and will not see any other way other than their own can be extremely difficult, whether to deal with them or live with them. When they [...]
Daley, Urkel, & Blago
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Blago, Daley, Urkel on December 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s amazing how much stuff I can bring over here from my old Yahoo blog from last year. Given yesterday’s debacle, I find this entry from October 2007 appropriate:
Daley, Urkel, & Blago
“…or maybe I should say corruption, corruption, corruption. I have not been happy with these three. Urkel is the worst. Hiring relatives [...]

Trying to buy off Obama’s Senate seat, amongst other charges?! A sobering article: http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/blagojevich/1321300,rod-blagojevich-illinois-governor-custody-120908.article
A box of rocks is smarter than Blago. God help Illinois.
