That Bears game sure sucked.  At best they will be 8-8....oh well....Two good themes today...

Former unconvicted criminal Mayor Daley continues to not get it.  After the news of the strongarm tactics that he put to companies to donate to his wifes charity hit, he sings this sad tune...and oh, by the way, she was pulling in 100 grand to head the charity.  Read the comments after the story...pretty good.

The Fast and Furious debacle engineered by our brilliant US Attorney General is a real crime. We gave guns to drug lords, the guns were used to kill US agents, and WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?  Of course, this is the brainchild of a guy saw no reason to press charges against the black panthers standing in front of polling places holding baseball bats during the 2008 election. (see second link below).

 Christmas Eve Eve.  It's hard to believe 2020 is drawing to a close, although since the lockdown in March, calendar dates have become meaningless.   But, it is Christmas week, and all the regular hosts on the radio and on Fox News are on vacation.  For the working folks, the holidays fall on Thursday and Friday, so that is good for them, assuming they are off.   I got 6 Christmas cards this year, and appreciated them; it's always nice to be thought of.  And of those 6 cards, 4 featured a picture of the family dog.  Being a dog person, I like that.   Looking back, it was 2 yrs ago that I had the radiation procedure for prostate cancer.  Then I went to Florida in January.  Time does fly.  I have been back from Florida for 15 months.  The lockdown has lasted over 9 months...when you look at it, you realize time really is fleeting, so enjoy each day even if you spend it watching bad movies.  speaking of which.....

Another 2 weeks passed and I did not post.  I didn't do much, other than sit at a keyboard sending resumes that will not be read.  I had a few phone interviews, but nothing to be encouraged about. Heading to Chicago Saturday.  Will be nice to see the kids, and my granddaughter.  Play golf with the golf buds.  Catch up with some friends, then head to Canada Friday morning (if 2:30 am qualifies as morning).  Me, Kevin, Fred and Greg have been doing this a long time, and it is a very enjoyable journey, from the drive there, the party the night we we get there, the week of fishing, and the drive home.  Seems like only yesterday we were booking the trip at the All Canada show in January.  That was just a few weeks after I had surgery, and I remember being so fatigued walking around the show.  But that was then.  it's a new day. so - If I don't post before I leave Florida, I will catch up soon.  godspeed.

I wrote the post below yesterday, then put it back in draft status.  A guy at work told me that some notes you need to write, then save for a day before you send.  this was kind of the same thing.  but there is nothing malicious in the post - just an opinion that i need to move on from my current job.  I have nor malice - my job pays the bills and gives me an opportunity to do something I am good at.  but, either it is me, or the job, but the mutual attraction is no longer there.  there are worse things to be opinionated about.  anyway, the post follows: Another few days passed with no post.  the insanity at work continues, and has gone beyond what I can reasonably care about.  companies talk about their busy time, and then expect everyone to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to get through their "busy time" which is code words for the time they make a lot of money, but don't share it.  so, this busy time has led me to acknow...
