WHAT a weekend. I wish I could just hit “repeat.” Patti LuPone | Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda| Pfeiffer Hall First off, Pfeiffer Hall in Naperville is one of the quaintest venues I’ve seen LuPone play. Smack in the center of Naperville’s town square and kitty-corner from a church, it’s just a few steps up from a [...]
I think I’m touched in the head
Why else would you wake up at the crack of dawn to hail a cab during a sleeting, thunder-snowing blizzard to go downtown to stand in Grant Park for 1.5 hours while snow slowly slides down your back and then herd up like so much cattle to run in slushpuddles for 4.97 miles on your [...]

Bob and Jamie get their training on
Next weekend is the Trick or Treat Trot. Jamie and I decided it would be good to try running outside, without the aide of buttons or inclines or built-in TVs. As difficult as it was, we met at 8:30 Sunday morning and made our way to Montrose Harbor. Unfortunately, we happened upon some walk/run for [...]
