Thursday May 2nd, 2013 – Danville, IL Danville, IL happens to be the home town of show business brothers Dick and Jerry Van Dyke, actors Gene Hackman and Donald O’Connor, NFL football player Zeke Bratkowski and baseball Hall of Famer Robin Yount. That’s quite an ...
Wednesday February 6th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL Donald Driver officially retired from the Green Bay Packers today, and in my opinion is one of a precious few in professional sports who clearly understand how the big picture works. He’s had one of the most successful career...
Thursday January 17th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I predict a bright future for the Chicago Bears and it doesn’t upset me in the least. Yes, I’m still a flaming Green Bay Packer fan and will be at least until I get Alzhei...
Monday November 19th, 2012 – Fox Lake, IL Part of me is feeling extremely guilty right now, but I’m not going to lie. Another part is happy as a clam after watching the Chicago Bears get completely squashed on Monday Night Football. It shouldn’t mean anything in ...
Sunday October 7th, 2012 – Lake Villa, IL Enough is enough, and this is it. My aching arse, the Green Bay Packers have finally pissed me off so badly I am not going back for more. Like an abused spouse, I am packing my bags and I’m out the door. My can is dented enough...
Sunday September 2nd, 2012 – Milwaukee, WI I really don’t need many more shiny objects dangling in front of my face to distract me from all I have going on these days, but I made room for at least one more anyway. For the first time in a long time – probably at ...
Monday August 6th, 2012 – Green Bay, WI Life took an unexpected but pleasant detour today. My friend Mark Gumbinger called to ask if I wanted to ride up to Green Bay and watch the Packers practice. His world has been extra hectic lately, and he was looking to take a m...
Sunday January 15th, 2012 - Kenosha, WI Thank you, Green Bay Packers! Thank you for that giant steaming heap of fresh manure you plopped right on top of the birthday cake that is 2012. Thanks for putting your fans in the trick bag and teasing us with one of the best regular seasons ev...
Sunday December 18th, 2011 - Milwaukee, WI What an ideal day to not watch the Green Bay Packers game. They had to lose at some point, and today was it. I was busy doing other things and didn’t watch the game, and my life is better for it. Hearing about it was painful enough. I&r...
Wednesday October 19th, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL I can feel myself growing as a person at an amazing rate, and it feels fantastic. It’s all on target, and what used to be major roadblocks are now little glitches. I used to feel like life was a perpetual plunge into the abyss, with an...
Thursday September 8th, 2011 - Kenosha, WI After seven months of sobriety, and I’m sad to report I’m back on drugs and hopelessly hooked. My pusher has thirty-two varieties, one more than Baskin-Robbins. My pusher is the National Football League, and I’m addicted to ...
Tuesday September 6th, 2011 - Milwaukee, WI Up to Milwaukee today to run some errands. One of them was a breakfast meeting with Russ Martin to talk about booking some ‘Schlitz Happened!’ shows. I still haven’t lost an interest in putting that show together, but I hav...
Friday August 19th, 2011 - Green Bay, WI My friend Steve DeClark had an extra ticket for tonight’s Packers pre season game with the Arizona Cardinals and asked if I wanted to tag along. Even though the ticket cost way too much, I had to say yes. It wasn’t Steve’s...
Saturday April 30th, 2011 - St. Charles, IL Life can be so unfair. I was watching the NFL draft on ESPN and realized most people, no matter what choices they make, will NEVER have the opportunity to experience what those people are experiencing. It’s either in the cards for some...
Friday April 30th, 2011 - St. Charles, IL Two shows at Zanies tonight, and I wish I could have recorded both - if only because of how completely different they were from each other. The early show was a wild fire, with an audience that laughed hard from the emcee’s very first jo...
