American Idol Is Still Good!
Posted:Friday, 01/29/2010 at 08:01am by Brian Peck
I was angry when they didn't re-sign Paula Abdul on American Idol. And already, there is a different vibe on the show without her...but, it's still fun to watch! We haven't seen Ellen DeGeneres yet and I don't know how she will mix in with the other judges, but I will definately still watch. You still have the heart tugging stories, people you want to see do well. I don't think they will ever lose that element on the show.

I am looking forward to the "X-Factor" next year with Simon and probably Paula and other fun judges. Fox was smart to pick it up. If nothing else, we have fun things to watch in these cold Chicago winter days!

With one and seven year old sons, I'm always looking for good children's books. I came across one that is good for kids of any age, especially those who love dogs. It's "The Adventures of Harvey the Wonder Dog (Harvey the Hungry Dog)". The cool thing is that the book is based on a real dog who lives in our area. If you would like to find out

Last Minute Holiday Gift Idea!
Posted:Monday, 12/21/2009 at 09:12am by Brian Peck
My wife and I went to Cirque du Soleil's Banana Shpeel at Chicago Theatre with some 100.3 winners over the weekend. We were all treated to the Tapis Rouge lounge before the show and during intermission. Wow! It was awesome. They had champagne and food and it was a really cool experience. You can still get tickets to the show and to the Tapis Rouge lounge and it would make a great last minute holiday gift for anyone. As I told our winners, I may never be able to go to Chicago Theatre any other way again after being spoiled rotten!

Enjoy and happy holidays!

Price of "Twelve Days of Christmas" goes up!
Posted:Monday, 11/30/2009 at 07:11am by Brian Peck
After 12 days of Christmas, anyone looking to buy all of the items listed in the song would need to fork over $87,403 this year according to PNC Wealth Management. The good news is that it's only up $794 from last year. By the way, if you buy online it will cost $10,000 more, largely because of the shipping costs for the birds.

Happy Holidays!

How about those Bears?!
Posted:Monday, 09/28/2009 at 07:09am by Brian Peck
Isn't great to watch the Bears? They can be trailing with minutes left (like the last two games) and you know that they can easily come back to win (again, like the last two weeks). Not only do the Bear's defense look good but Jay Cutler and company have one of the most exciting offenses to watch in the fourth quarter! Hey, I'm not going to talk playoffs or championships yet, but they are exciting to watch.

Go Bears!!!!

There Are Still Good People Out There
Posted:Thursday, 09/17/2009 at 05:09am by Brian Peck
So I am driving down the Kennedy at 4:30 in the morning when I hit debris and blow out my tire. I am able to get off the highway and pull the car over. As I am digging through the trunk looking for a missing jack Willie pulls up behind me. Normally I suppose you would be suspicious of someone wanting to help but I could tell that he was a good guy. Willie had a jack and had me on my way in ten minutes. There are still good people out there.

Thanks Willie, you are a blessing!
