A wonky hack taking politics too seriously.

I consult on media, public policy, and corporate affairs. Former journalist + state gov staff. Always Robin's and Myra's Dad.

In this picture, there are five children. They cannot be seen. In this film, we hope to demonstrate to you the value of not being seen.

What a horrible way for the Crew to spend their final 60 seconds of life.

This playlist is a personal attack.

a) WIDB was awesome. I wish I had more time there.

b) College radio isn't an algorithm.

Better radio memories:

The late former Gov. Jim Edgar's portrait on the second floor still dawned with mourning shrouds.

Sandbars, timber, and what remains of the Sangamon River today as viewed from the Sangamon Valley Trail bridge. Keep the rain coming (after I get home)!

A beautiful day in Springfield to pay your respects.

Did you know then-Secretary of State Jim Edgar oversaw a rehabilitation of the Capitol dome? We enjoy the vibrant, interior colors instead of decades worth of tobacco stains and soot because of his leadership.
