Late this afternoon I ran a few boring, but mandatory, errands. One errand required stopping in at Woodfield Mall. It was about 4:00 when I got there and I was pleasantly surprised to find the parking lot fairly free of cars. I parked, strolled into Macy's and from there entered the Mall. It was pretty [...]

You've probably heard that the governor of the state of Illinois was arrested and indicted today. This was NO SURPRISE to the good residents of Illinois.

No, the good citizens of Illinois were not [...]

About 4:35 this morning I thought I was on a boat. I was softly rocking back and forth. My bed and I were softly rolling over waves on a quiet sea…WAIT…my bed is neither water safe nor a flotation device. "Oh, we’re having an earthquake."

It’s April 15th. A.k.a., Tax Day in the U.S.A. I mailed my taxes yesterday so I didn’t have to brave a post office today. I trust you got yours in also. I know a few people that have left it to the last minute and might even be at a post office as I type.
