So, I have a horrible head cold today, but I've been wanting to pump out a great tune tonight. Tonight, however, it aint gonna happen. Too beat to sift through my greatest hits to find something that just hits the mood, so I'm giving a lot of tunes and a lot of dances that actually put a smile on...

OK...just met with new clients from a new realtor just yesterday. I've posted on this a number of times, but being the new year and all....let's revisit this issue. This sounds almost too good to be true. But it is true. You can't do it on a conventional loan. You can, however, do with an FH...

So it's not often that I'll put my name behind someone. My definition of greatness makes it incredibly hard to just endorse anyone. I do look forward to doing it when the opportunity presents itself. Let's just say the Better Business Bureau does not grade as tough as I do. I'm quite pleased ...

You Tube, oh You Tube, O how much I love thee.... I do want to say that there are some just awesome things on You Tube. For me, I love music. I love raw music. I love music that is raw, and unplugged. I played guitar growing up and am teaching two of my five kids how to play. For me.....nothing b...

Saint Patrick's Catholic Grade School is the highest rated grade school in the diocese of Rockford. Of course, I used to be the president of Saint Patrick's School Board, and therefore, I'm a bit biased. I wish it was because of me, but alas, it's not. However, I was a graduate of Saint Patrick's...

I call 4 State Senators about a stupid law that won't allow for fixed rate reverse mortgages in Illinois. I won't belabor the horrible aspects of the law, but seniors cannot have a fixed rate reverse mortgage in Illinois as it stands right now...but the other 49 states they can. I call 4 state ...

There's a lot of responsibility when you're the head of THE FAMILY. Sure....didn't really set out to do this. Just wanted to hang with the family, but when Don Vito Corleone went down, I got shoved into this role. I will tell you that I never thought that Facebook would do this to me, but, now...

So we have a steam room that we like to hit in our house. It's especially awesome during the cold winter months of December, January and February. When we had our only flakes of the season a few weeks ago, we get the steamer as hot as we can and stay there as long as we can, and then when it ge...

1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
