I Love Show People
Friday December 11th, 2009 - Kenosha, WI    No matter how much I whine and complain about what didn’t go right in my life, one of the things that did has been the amazing number of fantastic friends I’ve made throughout the years, and the number keeps growing. Entertainer...

Digging The Journey
Sunday November 22nd, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL/Kenosha, WI   I’m in a very good place in my head these days and I want to acknowledge that. I have a tendency to be up and down more than Oprah’s weight or Madonna’s panties, but for now I’m on the up tick. The holiday...

Team Dynamics
Sunday October 18th, 2009 - Kenosha, WI   Green Bay Packers win, Chicago Bears lose. Any time that happens it’s a splendiferous day in my world. I’m ashamed to admit that I feel that way, but I do. I’m a Packer fan for life and no matter how much I say I don’t ca...

Struggles To The Max
Sunday September 20th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL/Kenosha, WI   I can’t ever remember being in a funk this deep and it doesn’t seem to be lifting. I called my friend Max in Springfield, IL because he’s one of the few that can relate to what I feel right now. I’ve talk...

Off The Deep End

Mothership Massacre
Sunday August 2nd, 2009 - Kenosha, WI   Peee-yewww. Boy, did we stink up the airwaves with our Mothership Connection radio show on WLIP tonight. None of us seemed to be clicking and the longer it dragged on the worse it got. It got to the point of being funny and all we could do was fin...

What's Really Important
Wednesday July 29th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL    My tiny little batch of inconveniences in life really don’t add up to much compared to the real problems some people have. I received a call today from Dr. Destruction, one of my co-hosts on The Mothership Connection radio show in K...

Dubuque Was Delightful
Sunday June 28th, 2009 - Dubuque, IA/Lake Villa, IL   I really enjoyed my experience in Dubuque. I’ve worked there before but not in a casino situation and this one was top notch all the way. There’s a Hilton Garden Inn right next to the casino and I thought it was especiall...

Three For Three
Monday May 18th, 2009 - Chicago, IL   If life was like it’s been in the last three days all the time I’d have nothing to bitch about anymore. Saturday was great because of Jerry’s Kidders on WGN. Yesterday it was doing a solid Mothership Connection show on WLIP. Tonigh...

White Sox And Black Holes
Sunday May 17th, 2009 - Milwaukee, WI/Kenosha, WI   Here’s a nifty nugget of obscure baseball trivia knowledge even if you don’t like sports. Former Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos May was born on this date in 1948 making him 61 years old today. He originally wore unifor...

Radio Times Two
Sunday April 26th, 2009 - Chicago, IL/Kenosha, WI   All radio all day - and all night too. Just when I thought Jerry’s Kidders were history we were called upon once again to be on with Jerry Agar on WLS. Jerry has been filling in at the station from time to time and it fit his sch...
