  • Halloween Bullies

    Consider yourself lucky if you were able to go trick-or-treating without the threat of getting your candy stolen by older kids. I think it started out mostly as an urban myth, but the thought of it happening made Halloween night a little more frightening. I remember the year my friend’s candy bag became the bullies’ prize. After running home, the rest of us were asked to ‘share’ our cornucopia of candy with our less fortunate friend. Maybe that’s why we always felt so compelled to eat as much of our candy as we could in one night.

  • Gym Rats

    These mice are men. ‘Arms day’ is every day. They walk with their elbows never touching their sides. They avoid cheese (no dairy) and peanut butter is their protein fix. Indeed, what doesn’t kill them, makes them stronger.

  • Werewolf Mocha

    Not sure if doing coffee at 6:30pm is a good idea. I’ll most likely be up later than this guy. Not the largest canvas, but great drinks at Bismarck’s new City Brew. Ask for Mason, he’ll set you up.

  • Keep Your Eye on the Ball

    A creepy twist on some solid advice. Ask any ball player and they’ll tell you that they hear this phrase more than any other. Some players hear it more than others.

  • Blair’s Witch Project

    Look what Witch Warner whipped up at Eastland School for girls. I don’t think Mrs. Garrett would approve of such crafts. Oh well. You take the good, you take the bad.

  • The Battle Begins

    It appears that the Indians have the Cubs in submission. As I write this it’s the top of the seventh inning and Kluber, who managed to strike-out nine, comes out to the relief of Andrew Miller. Indians lead game one of the World Series 3-0.

  • You Rang?

    Hey everyone, let’s hear it for Monday! <Insert deep guttural Lurch groan here>.

  • Cubs Win!

    After a record-breaking championship drought, the Chicago Cubs topped the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 to secure the NCLS pennant and a berth in the World Series. Synonymous with the Cubs was the late sportscaster Harry Caray, the so-called ‘Mayor of Rush Street’, who added his own brand of color commentary with his signature ‘Holy Cow’ while announcing for the north side Chicago team. As a kid growing up, I mostly avoided the afternoon broadcasts of Cubs games on WGN, but this season it was hard not to cheer for them knowing that they hadn’t seen the Fall Classic since 1945.

  • Average Joe

    I’m relatively new to the adult world of coffee-drinking, so forgive my naiveté. There is a wide range of coffee blends and brands out there, but I can’t say that I really taste a whole lot of difference. Maybe I’m too inexperienced and haven’t developed a distinguished palette for java, but with a soon-to-be barista in our midst that will likely change. As far I’m concerned right now… Joe is Joe.

  • Part of this Nutritious Breakfast

    When it comes to breakfast, I rarely depart from my routine. For the past several years my go-to morning meal has been a bowl of Quaker Quick Oats, raisins, cinnamon and brown sugar. Although it doesn’t sound like much, I’ve found it to be incredibly filling… and it doesn’t make my milk look like a clown exploded.
