4 weeks ago Me and the rest of the sales staff are taking a day out for "training" later this month, so I have marked that day on my calendar "Field Trip."
That phrase always gets me thinking. Not about The Field Museum of Natural History, Shedd Aquarium, or the Museum of Science and Industry (destinations of several field trips made during my formative years in grade school)
March 8, 2013 Sunday 2:00am we officially change to Central Daylight Time (CDT). Remember - SPRING forward, FALL back.
I am reminded of several things:
March 5, 2013 I had the opportunity to take my wife to Chicago for her birthday. She had always wanted to see Blue Man Group, so I felt this was a great time to do this.
Because I grew up in Chicago, I have a tendency to want to do too much - get as much in as possible in the short time we have in the city
February 12, 2013 Yesterday I wrote about how I could not find paczkis in this area. My good friend Alta found some for me...
...at WalMart!
February 11, 2013 Paczki Day is tomorrow. Growing up on the Northwest Side of Chicago, there were hundreds of shops selling these remarkable treats the day before Ash Wednesday.
January 27, 2013 As you may have recognized, I was not on the radio last Thursday or Friday. Despite what you might have heard, I was not sunning myself on a Mexican beach. Truth is I was as far as you can get from a sunny beach. I was in Chicago. Since I'm a lifelong St. Louis Cardinal fan, I felt like Dracula driving into a garlic factory.
January 22, 2013 I don't know if I'm just getting older or the fact that I have been away from Chicago for over 20-years, but I am not handling the cold very well.
May 17, 2012 Western Illinois is different, and I'm very thankful for that.
