Beating the heat

Yesterday’s high was over 95 in the suburbs… with our A/C unit on the fritz, our house was 83 degrees.  OUCH.   Plus, the Beer N Bags event last night was at a bar with no A/C either.  HUH?!

Today, it’s even hotter, but we’re all good at the houseagain.

Suggestions on how to stay cool?  The best way to beat the heat?  I nominate ice-cold Miller Lite, and a sno-cone.  You?

Let’s chat about it, today after 3pm.

Saying goodbye to an old friend

Jill & I had to put our beloved cat Corey to sleep on Saturday morning … he’d been ill for many months, and we’d made things as comfortable as possible for him.

Medicine for this ache, helping him with another ailment, it became a regular routine.

When we knew it was time, we chose to look and reflect at the great life he’d lived (over 17 years), all the fun times we had, the fact that he will forever be our son’s first friend in the world … rather than “the end.”   Thank god for videos!

That said, we were ready, we were prepared … but I completely lost it at the vet.  It still stinks writing this, 3 days later.

My point?  Cherish the ones you have and love today.

Playing catch-up with Beer N Bags, Kenny Chesney, and Digital TV

** Summer is officially here, because our Coors Light BEER n BAGS tournament is underway.  Every Tuesday & Wednesday through August, make plans to join me across Chicagoland for your chance at an all-inclusive trip for 2 to the CMAs in November!

We’re in Chicago Ridge tonight, Hillside next Tuesday,  and Des Plaines next Wednesday … register between 8-9pm, play starts at 9pm with 16 randomly-selected teams!   Full details HERE.

** The other big event is this Saturday, when Kenny Chesney & friends invade Soldier Field ALL DAY LONG!

Our US*99.5 Oasis kicks off at Noon, Luke Bryan is on stage at 3pm, and then the party rolls on inside the stadium.  Tickets are still available, full details HERE.

** I noticed that Friday is the cut-off, no more analog TV.  Do you understand it all?  Me neither, but it got me thinking … do you think there’s anyone still watching a B&W tv, embracing the old-school flavor?

Let’s talk about it this afternoon, after 3pm!
