Happy birthday to my mom, a person with more energy today at 78 years old, than I have ever had. I think the energy gene skips a generation. These are her energetic grandsons skiing with her.

My college buddies and I have been going down memory lane lately talking about songs we used to play on our old radio station WPGU. Most of these were songs the Townies in Champaign-Urbana requested. This is one I got calls for all the time, and it's been in my head the last two days...

Nothing to see here

Trump ordered by judge to pay $2M in damages, after he used a charity’s $ to help his businesses and to buy art of himself.

The **President of the US** now isn’t permitted to start a charity in New York without special oversight from outsiders.

This follows up his previous fraud of Trump University, in which he was forced to pay millions to defrauded "students".

And 40% of the country believes that someone who is too corrupt to run a charity or a university was obsessed with rooting out corruption in Ukraine.

(Sigh)

Kelly Crull

Sad to see this news in Robert Feder's column this morning...

Kelly Crull, who covered the Chicago Cubs (including their 2016 World Series championship) during her six years as a reporter for NBC Sports Chicago, is out at the regional sports network. “We appreciate everything Kelly has delivered to our network over the years and wish her nothing but success in her future endeavors,” the company said in a statement. Crull, who earned a journalism degree from the University of Missouri on a tennis scholarship, previously worked for Fox Sports Net in San Diego and Oklahoma City, and KOCO, the ABC affiliate in Oklahoma City.
