Morton Malaise

First of all, I would like to thank PI, Peoria Pundit, Flam, Peoria Speaks, and Peoria.com for all of their help getting Kelly’s Kause out into the blogosphere. I would also like to thank everyone who has donated or plans to donate. My family thanks all of you as well.
My cousin, Kelly, is quite ill. [...]

While those of us in Central Illinois wait patiently for a 3G network that may never come from AT&T, users in other parts of the country that are ALLEGEDLY covered by 3G are finding out that the new iPhone is not, in fact, better than sliced bread or the wheel. Surprise, surprise. Just because it’s [...]

For anyone who is interested, the Peoria Flickr group is doing a show @ One World. It runs from August 19th through September 15th and features 21 photographs of Peoria’s bridges from 14 different artists.

This vote, [...]

There are five Tuesdays in September, which means there will be another Blogger Bash on September 30th. I’m beating Billy to the punch and taking suggestions for a location. In order to keep the bitching from Mr. Dennis to a minimum, let’s stay away from chain restaurants, shall we? Hopefully this is enough time for [...]

While my friend Brandon’s parents are out of town, I have agreed to let their dogs out, bring their mail in, etc. They live right across the street from me, so it’s not like I have to stay in a strange house, and the dogs only need to be let out once in the morning, [...]

PH tagged me with this thing. Here are the rules. I will state now that rules 4 and 5 will be ignored, partly because pretty much everyone has already been tagged, but mostly because I’m lazy.
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. [...]
