I haven’t had the opportunity to make it back to my hometown for quite some time now. I still don’t know what Thanksgiving will bring, but that will most likely be my first shot at it in three months or so. Not great considering it’s only 90 minutes away or so. My commute to work […]

Our Alma Mater (is that correct when two people have graduated from a school?) recently announced the new additions to the Southern Illinois University Hall of Fame for 2011, and boy do I feel old already. Darren Brooks, HOFer Darren Brooks is the biggest name in this year’s class. He graduated just one […] Wouldn’t you know it, November just rolled around. Luckily the weather in Chicago hasn’t really indicated as such yet. We’re hanging in there and have managed to stave off turning on the heat, although that may not last much longer. With the new month comes a new hope for consistency. I see that we only […] While perusing the blogs during my limited off-hours, it seemed to me that people rooting for the San Francisco Giants to win the World Series were few and far between.
