April 9, 2012 Last Friday (March 30) was a very special national day. You know like "National Hot Dog Day" or "National Drink lots of Rum day". If you are one of the 6 other people who have been reading my little blog posts over the last 15 months or so, you know a couple of things about me. I like Chicago sports teams, White Castle, Mountain Dew, and ...
April 9, 2012 Last May, Matt Hendricks introduced you to a drunk guy who dressed as Batman and wandered around the Northern Michigan resort town, getting arrested and gaining almost 4400 likes on Facebook. Well he's back, and wackier than before!
April 4, 2012 OK I have to admit. If I'm going to follow through on the day today, by hugging a newsman. I wouldn't be hugging a newsMAN. I'd be hugging a Meteorologist. I took a meteorology class in school and have always been interested in weather and the such.
April 2, 2012 ...Movie Reviewer! Ha! It's nice when I get on my little sap box, declare something terrible, and then get it back up by people who really do it. What am I talking about? Last Fall, I saw an ad for the latest Adam Sandler movie called "Jack and Jill". It's like it was only yesterday when I said...(cue the squiggly dream sequence...like on Wayne's World)
March 26, 2012 Oscar Taveras is a 19-year-old outfielder in the St Louis Cardinals minor league system. And a good one, too. He had a .386 batting average with eight homers and 62 RBIs at Single-A Quad Cities (who the Whitecaps play) last season. That performance led Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus to rank him as the second-best Cardinals prospect, worthy of five stars and a spot just behind pitcher Shelby Miller. He should be pretty well known to anyone who follows the Cards.

I will admit that math is not my suit. Somehow I made it through high school trig, but these days, ask me anything about a "tangent" or a "co-sign" and I will certainly stare blankly back at you. But even I knew the answer to this brainbuster: "How long does it take to drive 80 miles at 80 mph?" People who didn't? Chelsea. And her husband caught it on video.

March 5, 2012 March 5th, 1990. A day I will always remember. Not because the price of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese was only $1.29, or that gas was $.85 cents a gallon. Not because we as a nation were celebrating the birth of the new fangled "internets". The economy was decent, a Bush was in the White House that could actually SPELL "White House", Saddam was still in power, and we were falling in love with a little TV family called "The Simpsons". Life was good.
