Ignore proper dental care, chop down a cherry tree & read my @Entrepreneur feature on a recent #America250 visit to @mountvernon! (Thaaanks @DanBova1) cc: @mountvernonnews @MattWelch

I start all of my neighborhood tours at @PJClarkes. And one of my favorite PJ bartenders (tis the season) just gave me some GREAT ghost stories re: this joint. Join me! flyingdutchmentours.com/
"WE'RE NUMBER THREE, WE'RE NUMBER THREE, WE'RE NUMBER THREE!" *coughing up a level of bubonic plague that only LA & Chicago has us beat on* newser.com/story/398623/10-r…
One of the many miracles in "John Adams" was the casting of Stephen Dillane as Thomas Jefferson. He's dreamy, languid, quietly charming aaaand using ALL of it. To get EXACTLY what he wants. Beyond belief accurate... youtube.com/watch?v=MaqmBOyN…
None of this will get any better and we have only ourselves to blame. Best I personally can do is subscribe to the John Prine (#RIP) way of life: "I Ain't Hurtin' Nobody, I Ain't Hurtin' No One..." youtube.com/watch?v=zgngl4aV…
Halfway through "Tyson" and it is just un-fucking-real. Watch. Immediately. youtube.com/watch?v=o1S5LsYh…
I love this bastard as much as I HATE how talented he is. Craig is a monumentally great artist. Once I get my next meager paycheck? I have some orders. And he’ll hate it. Because the subjects will be all Chicago related…

Selling all of these for just $50 to $75 while I try to figure out what the hell has been wrong with me for the last few weeks and if/when I'm going to recover enough to work full-time again. Please feel free to share.
Fun little, old school reminder via the @whitesox’s first Turn Back The Clock game, in 1990, that the @Brewers used to be in MY division. Cc: @LastComiskey
WAY TO GO, @Brewers!!! (And to a waaaay lesser extent, @scottquimby.) That said: Gird your loins, Milwaukee. I think this series is going all seven.
Milwaukee is one of my favorite towns. And, as Ive said a million times before, Bob Uecker is my lifelong HERO. Which is why I again HIGHLY recommend this docu on the '82 @Brewers. It's awesome. And, of course, Ueck just talking head kills it: youtube.com/watch?v=KuTqLPCp…
PS I've met Robin Yount at various @baseballhall things. And he's just as cool as you wanted him to be.
The ratings for @Brewers/@RaysBaseball aaaaare...not gonna be good. Which is a shame. These two never-won-a-World-Series franchises are the absolute cream of the NL/AL crop. This is GREAT baseball. PS Bulls fucked you up today, Bucks fans. (I had to do it.)
Christopher Nolan & his brother Jonathan spent their youth in Chicago plus London. Jonathan has an American accent. Christopher has a British one. (I think the latter is faking it.)
Plot-line for "Three's Company": In order for Jack Tripper to live w/ Chrissy & Janet? They convinced The Roepers, who owned the building & frowned upon men living with women out of wedlock, that he was gay. That's it. (Not "rebootable" in 2026.) fox5ny.com/news/threes-compa…
Here's how u could maybe 2026 do it: A girl illegally moves into a one bedroom apt in NYC with a couch to save $$$. Roommates are both dudes. One is gay. Straight one falls for her. But she has a crush on the gay guy. Also? AI recreates Don Knotts. #CallMeNetflix
If you grew up in the 80s? Definitely in Chicago, but mostly everywhere else: @JimMcMahon was our James Dean: youtube.com/watch?v=jpjDaPl6…
Again: I'm old. Found out about this Rosalia person via @CBSSunday. But...WOW This ancient creature is totally impressed with today's youthful artists/people/whatever they're called: youtube.com/watch?v=7fyufPkX…
A belated happy 25th @PTI! I too am an angry, old curmudgeon. Which continues to make this my favorite show ever.
