Help by the Beatles!

When I was growing up, songs like this did not really inspire me. I was oh so cool, don't ya see. Now, just a heartbeat away in time, there's much more meaning to be found in the lyrics....

Come experience the dream!

A great climate, lots of hills and water - what's not to like?

Craig Leonard & Turn the Page!

An alumni of mine from Prospect High, though we ran in different circles - A most excellent musician Craig Leonard. - Also an endearing song from back in the time! Now, as I reflect back to those times, there existed a special group of very talented people back in that 500 plus group from 1968, I remember people like Bruce Boxleitner who went on to stardom. And then there was the Cellar in Arlington Heights, back in the day with groups like The Shadows of Knight! Good times all! And yes Craig, I do like your music! Please rock on! We are 'still crazy after all these years', for those of us still standing, at least? Personally, I'm still 'strutting and fretting' on a stage with little to very few audiences....  That be me, though. And, circa 2017, I'm still listening and still turning those pages, Craig!

Bobby Vee and Come Back!

Another blast from the distant past!

The Doors and Blondie remix!

Goldfrapp - You're my #1!

Random Thoughts for October 2014!

Will there be another 'Winter Vortex' this winter?

Short answer – No! Back to back arctic air spill overs are relatively rare events. Having said that, look for some interesting winter weather later this year!

Is the media over-hyping the Ebola outbreak?

What do you think? Honestly, I think the average American has a higher probability of getting hit by an asteroid than of getting Ebola. (But, do watch out for the flu this season and go get your shots).

What's going to happen when......

The Fed stops printing money as early as this winter?

Cap and Trade becomes the law of the land?

Full immigration is enacted without first sealing the borders?

Health insurance costs skyrocket in 2015 under Obamacare?

Russia invades the Baltic?

You'll notice I didn't respond to any of these very credible future events. Please do your own research, form an opinion and then make sure to vote in the midterms and the 2016 elections.
