Monday, March 31, 2003What really happened overnightAs I mentioned earlier today, the current Mayor Daley (Richard M, that is) had a press conference to announce that Meigs Field was closed (and its runway ripped up) for security reasons. Mayor Daley felt that those airplanes at Meigs Field posed too high a security risk on the lakefront; he had been...

It's been a prominent feature on our lakefront for at least as long as I can remember. Well, folks, it seems as if Mayor Richard M. Daley - yes, you read right: the son of the infamous...

Although it should go without saying, I have to say it, anyway - I'm glad. It means more money in my pocket, and I've...

I've been reading a lot of animal-rights material lately, so I've had a good chance to think about their perspective on the issue of pet ownership. The problem is that I've been exposed only to their perspective....

I've come up with one very good reason to do so - and that's an article contained within its pages, on disabilities. Postcard From the Planet of the Freaks is a...

March is National Nutrition Month. It's actually a publicity device used by the American Dietetic Association to get people to think about nutrition; no government agency has made any sort of declaration stating that...

If I don't post for several days, there will be a good reason why - the evil vet man has decided to perform some sort of voodoo ministration or other in...

I'm in one of those states where if I get rejected by too many editors, I know I'll take it wrong. Here, on the other hand, I'm pretty much free to write as I wish (as long as I don't go insulting other people in the process or...

I will use the short form of the title of his latest book - Grow Up. Apparently, it's selling well, for good reason. Grow Up really does give Dr. Pittman's ideas about how grownups behave. Most of those ideas are relatively sound;...

It's the type of story Rule apparently likes to do best (information which I found out by perusing her website ). Brad Cunningham (portrayed by Ken Olin in the movie) is married to attorney Cheryl Keeton (Annette... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 9:07 AM Comments (0) (link) |
