The Chicago forecast for Saturday, October 18 calls for a high of 72 degrees, which is not conducive to ICE. The Chicago forecast also calls for tens of thousands of protesters in Grant Park — also not conducive to ICE.
See you downtown on October 18.

I’ve attended my fair share of protests in downtown Chicago over the years (including several related to the current occupant of the White House). Based on what I’m seeing down here today, Chicago decided to show up this afternoon. #NoKings #50501

Watching the Masters always reminds me how much I loved caddying. (So does watching Caddyshack, which came out a few years into my caddie career.) I’ll next carry a bag whenever the BMW Championship Pro-Am returns to the Chicago area.

Ever wonder how a 2016 YouTube video could be found, in 2023, to violate YouTube's community standards, be cleared days later -- but then be found again to violate those standards just weeks before the 2024 presidential election?
Well, it happened to me.

For 20 of the last 25 years, I've played an after-work, Thanksgiving Eve gig in a Chicago pub with some of my musician pals. On Wednesday I'll plug in at Cali's Corner (Touhy & California) with local guitar ace Pat Keiner and friends. No cover, easy street parking, comfortable bar stools, 7-10 p.m.
