Criswell got it right! Say he "Greetings my friend. We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend: future events such as these will affect you in the future." #MLBPlayoffs #ChicagoWhiteSox #WhiteSox #CriswellPredicts

Thanks to Mapquest, you too can rename Lake Ontario to Lake Whatever You Desire. I went with an homage to Lake Titicaca, the favored lake of third grades everywhere. (Link in next comment) #Mapquest #LakeAmerica #LakeOntario

“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?" George Orwell

Never take your health for granted. I'm back in the saddle and fully intend to die in the saddle, just like Cheyenne (Jason Robards, background) and Harmonica (Charles Bronson, foreground) in Once Upon a Time in the West. #Health #Work #CharlesBronson

A WWII vet was in our neighborhood Memorial Day parade. I went up to him, showed him the Star of David I wear around my neck, and told him “I’m here because you were there.” It was a moment—a good moment. #MemorialDay #WWII

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all. Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy. This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Inredible what arises from a simple AI prompt such as “Donald Trump as Jesus and Baby Jesus healing a bunny in heaven surrounded by giraffe and monkey angels, plus Superman, Diet Coke and a Big Mac in front of the White House ballroom.”

Yes, I know it's spring training standings but holy crap! The White Sox are 6th overall of 15 teams in the Cactus League (as of March 5). Dare a boy dream Reinsdorf is fielding a real MLB team this year instead of players suited only for the AA minor leagues? Hope springs eternal. #WhiteSox #MLB

1/2 I'm ramping off MS Word. Why pay Bill Gates mondo $$$$ when open source software is just a mouse click away. I like OnlyOffice, but I can't get the SpellChecker to work. Believe me, I've tried everything. Many emails were exchanged between me and OnlyOffice tech support. Nothing worked.
