A city having a sportsgasm after Patrick Kane scores a game winning goal nobody saw to bring the Hawks the Stanley Cup. The celebration reverberated in every corner of the city and the multi day party unprecedented.
Health Care Bill passes. No matter how other parties try to slant it,affordable health care for everyone is never going to be seen as a bad thing by anyone who possess all their faculties.
The environmental disaster that was the gulf oil spill provided a pulpit for every grandstanding politician and a punch line for every pundit but the true scope of the disaster was brought home by the vivid pictures of oil soaked wildlife.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" reigns as the best comedy on television in my view as it wraps up its 7th season with the Seinfeld reunion that should have been.
"The Office" offers consistent comedy on a weekly basis with a cast that can count itself among the best ensembles in sitcom history. But can they endure minus Steve Carrell in 2011?
Chicago weather forecasters continue to panic peddle the weather whenever a cold spell,heat wave,thunderstorm or snow system approaches the city.The weather should make the news,the news shouldn't make the weather. Jerry Taft in particular seems to understand the understated and presents facts minus the frantic. And may our friend Amy Freeze get a new deal to remain on Fox Chicago.
How do they continue to show up on TV? Cheryl Burton,Jim Rose,Janet Davies ,Karen Jordan...Don't contracts expire anymore?
Biggest election disappointment: Joe Berrios elected despite everyone warning it would be a big mistake. Berrios started hiring relatives shorlty after getting in.
Always nice to find a new local restaurant that deserves a second trip...Antico Forno in Elmwood Park.
Two sold out nights for The Harlem Nights Players as they raise money for St.William Parish in April with a Christmas show.
Meeting Jackie Bange,Lise Dominique and the incredible and vibrant Harry Volkman at the event above.
Incredible friends both loyal and supportive who are my extended family.
Disappointing summer sports particularly on the north side where new ownership tanks and a championship seems further away than ever.
The IPOD Touch. Not often a gift can beome part of a lifestyle but I don't know what I did without this thing.
This year I became much less patient with grouches,grumps,the impolite and overly loud. Age may be catching up to me or maybe I just want some peace and quiet.
"Men Of A Certain Age", the best comedy/drama on the air. Ray Romano ,fresh off "Everybody Loves Raymond" is perhaps the most under rated talent in show business.
Jay Leno went from being a homogenized,gladhanding vanilla flavored talk show host to world class weasel and his ratings reflect america's disdain
People feel sorry for you when they hear you are estranged from a family member but that doesn't always have to be a sad event. Its been two years and the air has never smelled fresher.
Conan O'Brien makes people dislike Jay leno more than many do already,and takes his act to TBS where he has yet to show why he was given the Tonight Show in the first place.
The economy claims "Taste of Elmwood Park" ,a popular west suburban summer festival that brought a community together for decades.
The worst contestant ever in reality TV was a woman on "Big Brother" named Rachel Reilly.
Why does anyone watch George Lopez?
A White Christmas
Wacky new years eve weather as a brisk walk can make you work up a sweat.
