UFOverwhelm
Sunday May 31st, 2009 - Galena, IL/Kenosha, WI What a great way to close out the month of May. The weather is spectacular this time of year and everything else is falling into place too. If nothing else I’m having a whole lot of fun and doing things that please ME. I don’t care......Read More

A $75 Left Turn Isn't Right
Monday June 1st, 2009 - Mt. Prospect, IL/Chicago, IL A typical Mr. Lucky situation today. I received a call from Bert Haas saying he had one extra ticket for the White Sox game tonight and asked if I wanted to go. I happened to be off so I said yes. Bert asked if I’d mind picking up......Read More

Time For A Tune Up
Tuesday June 2nd, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL I’m about due for a major tune up in every area of my life from the ground up. I need to take a long, hard and honest look at myself physically, mentally, spiritually and especially comedically to see where I need to improve the most. I’m......Read More

Howdy Moody
Thursday June 4th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL I’m in one of my cantankerous bastard moods right now and I hope it passes quickly. If it stays it could turn into a depression funk and I don’t want anything to do with that right now. I just want to live my life and work on my craft and......Read More

Left Hand Grenades
Friday June 5th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL I feel like I’m drifting. Again. It’s never easy to keep everything running smoothly so an occasional detour is expected but I feel like I’ve lost all my momentum. I’m short on cash and gigs to make more cash and it’s......Read More

The Audience Decides
Saturday June 6th, 2009 - Chicago, IL I give up on trying to figure out the entertainment game. I thought I had at least a hint of a clue as to what works and what doesn’t but after a lifetime of being around it apparently I don’t. It’s not my call though and never has......Read More

A Keyboard Solo
Sunday June 7th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL/Kenosha, WI I spent the entire day today answering emails. Literally. I got up around 10:30 but that’s because I went to bed around 6:30. I got out of the rack and sat down and started working. I’d let my mammoth pile of emails hit crisis......Read More

A Tale Of Two Cities
Monday June 8th, 2009 - Milwaukee, WI/Chicago, IL Lots of good things today and a couple not so good. The good started with a call to be a last minute fill in on ‘The D-List’ radio show on ESPN 540 radio in Milwaukee. I always enjoy hanging out on that show and it’s never a......Read More

Pleasing A Tough Critic
Tuesday June 9th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL Sometimes life can be surprising in a good way. I love when that happens. Today I had no plans to see a movie but I ended up seeing ‘Land Of The Lost’ with Will Ferrell. I was in the Gurnee Mills mall getting my broken phone situation taken......Read More
