I was just thinking about all the great record labels of the 80's: IRS, Tommy Boy, Rough Trade, SST, Stiff... did I forget any?

BACK TO THE FUTURE: March 28, 1979: Reactor Meltdown at Three Mile Island. March 28, 2011 Reactor Meltdown at Fukushima, Japan.

Hey girl with fat thighs & mini skirt: didn't you notice other women cringing as they walked by you? At least you were wearing tights! :-p

Does anyone still believe that nuclear power is safe? Just an FYI: solar farms don't melt down; wind turbines don't leak radiation.

Hang the DJ...because the music that they constantly play, says nothing to me about my life.

I like "springing forward" with time. Now, when I take Roxy for a walk after work there will still be some daylight left.

Rant du jour: Ladies: enough already with the stupid "fireman" boots. They were kinda cute 3 years ago, but it's SO played!

Signs of spring: Robins are chirping; trees have buds on them; and I've seen the first flowering plants poking through the ground.

I just had a brilliant thought: Palin/Sheen 2012. This time, let's go completely nuts. What do you think? ;-)

Is it a law that says all 20-somethings in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood must own a black wool coat? Riding the CTA is like a funeral!

Today. The good? I started working out again. :-) The bad? My car got broken into. Goodbye radar detector. :-(

Busy day today. No holiday. But...it's almost over. And, I've very glad to be at a busy ad agency right now!

Dave Duerson Dead: Former Bears Star Dies At 50

It's a shame that people feel the need to use this to promote their own issues like violence in profession­al sports. This story is sad because those of us in Chicago knew what a great player DD was and what a good person he seemed to be off the field. The 1985 team that DD played on meant SO much to a city that hadn't had a world championsh­ip in decades. We adopted them as our own and DD was a big part of that team. I only hope that this was somehow natural causes rather than foul play or self-infli­cted. Best wishes to his family & friends.

Repubs want to cut funding for teachers, police, food inspectors but keep subsidies for uber-rich oil companies. Didn't we try this already?

Lara Logan Suffered 'Brutal' Sexual Assault In Egypt

Well put. After the repeated attacks on Anderson Cooper and others, I'm surprised that all news organizati­ons didn't pull back. That being said, no one forces reporters to rush into dangerous situations­. They accept the risks as part of the job. Neverthele­ss, it is deplorable­.

Banksy Pops Up In Los Angeles Again

I love Banksy's work. I've been a fan since I first discovered him in 2004. I'm very happy to see that he's doing new work in the US. My one request: Banksy, please come to Chicago.

Alarm bell on Brown line train has been ringing for 15 minutes straight! Aaaagggghhhh!

I'm waiting until enough people in the US get fed up enough with the status quo that they'll take to the streets like Egypt. Now: I wait.
