Always good to see East Peoria and Peoria working together to solve the area’s ills. They see the problems, they address them and they don’t engage in intercity rivalries. And as such, all people benefit. Thank goodness they aren’t trying to out do one another and focus on their own fiefdom while, in the grand [...]

Open Mike night
I want to see some jokes out of people. What the hell. Post away. Go anonymous if you think it’s too corny. Dirty jokes, well, be nice. No point in offending anyone. I am going to be headed to a family reunion and well, I am not that funny. So the goal is to come [...]

Putt-Putt golf
We took the kids to putt-putt today and well, that was an adventure. I recommend Wee-Tee as it’s a fun course and at times, downright difficult. Some of the holes we had to “cheat,” and just throw our balls over the ramps. You see, they have a mountain stream motif going at the course and [...]

Three little birds
No, not the Bob Marley song but the three buildings soon to be vacant on North Sterling Avenue. We have the old Denny’s, the old Burger King and now soon to be the new Starbucks which is closing due to the corporate slow down. I wonder how much money they are going to lose by [...]

Question for the day — How much wood
could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Sorry, I just wanted to write that in print and figure my blog was as good a spot as any. It looks weird, ya know. Almost as weird as it is to say the phrase. Hmm. Okay, I am done now and hope [...]

I hate Comcast
Okay, I can live with the higher rates. Everything goes up. It’s wrong. I grumble but that’s life. However, to raise rates and take away channels. Comcast, you suck. I just found out we lost the National Geographic channel. End of the world. Not really but my bill went up three dollars. For what, another [...]

Live blogging bedtime continued
9:10 Craziness at the house. Girl has jumped out of bed and is now in the boy’s room. She’s trying to calm him down. Both have flashlights and are trying to scare monsters. Wife is ignoring the whole thing. Again, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have gotten them flashlights or Pez before bedtime.
Updated: 10:45. I [...]

Live blogging bedtime
If it works for the city council, why can’t it work for bedtime. It was 8:30 and well, the little guy didn’t want to go to sleep. He cried.
8:45. It’s now been 10 minutes that he’s been crying. The other one has joined in. Two high-pitched voices. Wonderful. Wife is looking at me like I [...]

My word for the day… carom
Great work. One that isn’t used enough except in pool. Carom. That’s the word for the day. Why? Because I like the word. And I got to use genuflect in another post. What’s your word for the day?

A midKnight moon?
Okay, I feel left out of the party. What is the big deal about the new Batman movie. It’s cool. I get that. Ironman was cool as well. Hell, Wall-E was kinda cute too, but the way everyone is going gaga over the Dark Knight,… I don’t get it. Am I too old? Do I [...]
