Then, as I wrote about in a prior post (How Disney Change My Life - … [Read more...]

Today I went over to the new, expanded Walgreens Healthcare Clinic in Orland Park, Illinois and I was very impressed with the range of services and overall look of the office. There are many, many times when I don't need the "full-service" of my doctor or have the time to wait for an appointment. I would rather use a Walgreens Healthcare Clinic than wait weeks for an appointment or wait for hours somewhere else!

I think I had heard of L.L.Bean teaching fly fishing near their main store out East, but I never realized they taught outdoor classes around the country. When they contacted me to ask if I would like to try kayaking, I jumped like a trout at the opportunity to learn from the best. I'd been kayaking one time before and kept going in circles, but I thought if anyone can teach me, L.L. Bean can! L.L. Bean is giving everyone a new reason … [Read more...]

Thanks to MasterCard, I had the opportunity to attend a special event with Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs. I'm still pinching myself, I can't believe I had dinner with Ernie Banks. I.Had.Dinner.With.Ernie.Banks. Not 50 people and he was in the room, not sitting at a head table. Ernie Banks sat down and chatted with me and 15 other people, for almost two hours. This was a Priceless Moment. A once-in-a-lifetime Priceless Chicago … [Read more...]
