Jim's Story

I miss the greeness and the water in and around Lockport, as well as the friends that I made and who will always be an important part of my psyche. I still follow Chicago sports (and even try to keep an eye on the Porters), and am a rabid Cubs, Bears, and Bulls fan.....that usually gets me a lot of sympathy. The older I become, the more I am assured that few of my classmates would remember me in the first place, nor should they. Those fewer still who do have some salient memory...Expand for more
of me would most likely not recall too much that would constitute an endearing memory. I have never deemed being a memorable character as a worthy life goal. When I am feeling nostalgic (or remorseful) I wonder what my life would have been like if I had remained in the area around Lockport. I wonder if those who decided to stick around get a case of the "what if's", too. Maybe we can all get together, have a beer, a laugh, and figure it all out. Or have some fun trying.

A belated "Thank you" to my childhood friend, Tom Keegan, and his lovely wife, Gayle, for sharing a trip to see the Cubs and R oyals in Surprise, Az. While I'm afraid we spent most of 4 hours "catching up", it was great to
Math jokes, math jokes! It is, by the way, not a sign of some sort of superiority if you can decipher this. More likely, you have wasted a large part of your life, you don't have many friends, and getting a second date wi

No wonder it was on sale. Only at Wal-Mart.

My childhood friend, Tom Keegan, and his lovely wife, Gail Riles Keegan, treated me to an afternoon of baseball, memories, and cheesecake! I think Tom and I b actually saw a few innings (Cubs 3, Padres 1) in between catchi

Proof positive that Jeff Sessions is absolutely right to clamp down on the evil weed! Oh, the humanity!!!! Or, in this case, robotery!!!
Thank you, Mr. Trump, for trying to "preserve" our national history. Doofuss.
My old friend, Bob Bogaert, in homage of my 65th birthday, has bestowed the honor of dedicating an evening's entertainment to songs we performed together to the dismay of many from 1975-80. Our musical collaborations lasted
There is something to be said about the support and encouragement of your coworkers when you arrive at your job and are greeted by something like this. I'll leave it to you to decide what that "something" might be.

From back in the days. One of the best teams I ever played on, and some of the best teammates a kid could ask for. Hard to believe we were all so young and thought we had the world by the ass.
