April 22, 2009

Every year in Danville, the Danville Rotary Club lines Vermilion Street with flags over Memorial Day weekend.  If you have been in Danville over Memorial Day weekend, you probably know what I’m talking about.  The club has kicked off their flag sales for this year. Starting at the Vermilion County War Museum (the former Danville [...]

Teach your kids not to suck.

April 14, 2009

To say that growing up I was nice to every kid that I came into contact with would be a flat-out lie. I think that me and some of my classmates could have put a couple of kids in therapy later in life. I was not a bully. I have never been in a fight [...]

1 Down, 161 to go

April 7, 2009

Let me use every possible baseball quote here:  “It’s a long season”, “We have to take them one game at a time”, “We got roughed  up today, but we will get back out there tomorrow”, etc, etc, etc.  The Tribe dropped their season opener in Texas 9 – 1.  Cliff Lee came in with a [...]

Saturday Night Smile

March 21, 2009

First, watch the video before you read on….please. It’s well worth the 4:30 minutes. When I first started to watch this, I thought, “OK, some tool is going to dance at a bunch of different places around the world.” Then, I see everyone else join in, and I was moved. Some guy dancing is one [...]

Thanks, Jon Stewart

March 13, 2009

Jim Cramer of Mad Money fame came on the Daily Show to “defend” his network. As you can see from the video, he puts up very little fight because he’s got no backing. They missed the boat. Stewart asks the question that I have for years about CNBC, “Why do you take the word of [...]

How many times have we said, “I could have thought of that”? Well, I had one of those tonight. While doing some website research, I was checking out some design work and one of the sites I stumbled upon was this: http://www.iwearyourshirt.com/ I can’t explain it any better, so I will quote his site: “In [...]
