An excerpt from my Autobiography

It Was During The Summer of 1960

Well I’m in eight grade now and we all think we’re hot stuff. I didn’t think grammar school would ever end. Well, we have our first and only formal dance. So everybody’s excited and we all get dressed up. And the night of the dance, I walk in and everybody is there. And I see Sandra, “Hi Sandra.” and I go over and hold her and as the music starts to play, her skirt with all the petty coats underneath brush up against the front of me. The music plays and we dance.

(On my tape, I have Paul Anka singing, “Put Your Head on My Shoulder”)

Now that Sandra and I are not going to be going to the same high school. I’m going to Notre Dame and she’s going to Ridgewood high school. We just are not going to be seeing too much of each other. So she had one party and I went over there and she broke up with me. I couldn’t figure out why, at that time anyway. But it really hurt me. I acted like it didn’t hurt me but it really did.

I had an infected Gallbladder

Sept 12th 2018

It all started Aug 31st 2018. I had just gotten back from the casino that night when I got this really bad pain in the upper part of my stomach. I tried to go to sleep but by 3:30 in the morning I woke up in severe pain. I had to go to the emergency room. They took tests and gave me a CAT scan and some meds. They said it was gastritis and the pain went away. They let me go home. 

I went back to the casino the next few days and had no trouble. Then on Thursday night I got that severe pain again. I went back to the emergency room again. They gave me a CAT scan again with Dye. The doctor came back and she told me that I had an infected Gallbladder. “It will have to come out,” she told me.  They will take it out through your Belly Button," she went on to explain. Now this was on August 7th 2018 12.30 am Friday morning “They will have to operate.” I didn’t want to have any operation but what choice did I have? By that afternoon I was in the operating room. When I woke up it was a horrible feeling. It was like I was in a different world. The doctor came in and said, “Your Gallbladder was a Mess,” he told me. 

They took me up to my room. The pain was the worse. I had less pain when I had my Heart by-pass surgery. So they kept me on some kind of Morphine for the next couple of days. 

The nurses were very nice to me. That’s about the only good thing that happened while I was there. I stayed a total of 5 days in the hospital and I just got back to my apartment yesterday about 6pm.

I am going to just take it easy for a week. They said I could get back to my exercise class after that. I have no idea why my gallbladder went bad. I wonder what other organs are ready to go to pot. I hope I am good to go at least until I reach a 100.

Pedophilia in the Church

August 30^th 2018

Pedophilia in the Church has been going on for a long time. You can just ask my sister. She was the first one to bring a law suit against the Catholic Church back in 1987.  

I remember my sister going through all the unbelievable things that the church was trying to pull on her, the lying, and the denying. It was something else. In 1987 she finally ended up writing a book using a pseudonym about all she was going through. When she wrote her book she gave me a copy of the final draft to read before it went off to the printers. I went home and laid down on the couch and started reading it. I would get so far and then the anxiety would build up and my heart would start beating so fast that I had to put it down for a while. She asked me if I wanted to be the cover model. At first I didn’t want too but I was going through Multiple Sclerosis at the time and I needed the $100 she was willing to pay me to be the model. I told the photographer that I didn’t want my face to show on the cover. I didn’t want people to see me after the book was out and think I was a priest. I wasn’t and never have been a priest.  I’m proud of my sister for following through on the whole matter of sex abuse by priests and the Catholic Church’s major institutional cover-up that has been going on for so long.

 Will it ever stop? I don't know.

Don’t get Peanut Butter in your Mouse

Don’t get Peanut Butter in your Mouse


All of a sudden my mouse stopped working. I was not happy at all. I just got this new Gaming Mouse last year and it wasn’t cheap. I just didn’t know what to do. I was in the middle of doing something in Photoshop. It took me about an hour when I took a look at the bottom of my Mouse. I had been eating a peanut butter sandwich and low and behold there was peanut butter in that hole where the laser light comes out. At first I used a needle and got the biggest part out and then I used a Q Tip and cleaned the rest of it out. Thank goodness.

Vice President Pence Speaks

Vice President Pence Speaks

"Tax Cuts to Put America First"

I was invited to meet Vice President Pence today at the Westin hotel around O’Hare airport. I got there early so I would be able to get a seat in the ballroom where it was held.  I pulled up in my car and found out that they charge $24 to park my car for 4 hrs. What the hell. That’s insane. I have a handicap parking card but I didn’t see any handicap spaces around anywhere. Isn’t that illegal? I didn’t know what to do so I went across the street into this other hotel parking lot. Thank goodness I found a Handicap space.

 When I got to the Westin hotel at 9:30 there was a line already. The doors opened at 10:30. That was a long wait but I passed the time by talking to the people.

  The guy in back of me had run for congress here in Illinois in the past. One of the press came by and interviewed him. When it was time to enter the ballroom we had to empty our pockets and go through a metal detector. I walked in and saw that the Press was setting up their cameras. 

It was a good hour and a half before it got started at 12:30. 

When it did start the moderator introduced Congressman Adam Kinzinger. He talked about the new Tax Cuts. Then they brought up two business people. All four of them sat down and had a discussion about the new Tax Cuts that President has put in place.  

 The next person to step up to the podium was Governor Bruce Rauner. He registered a “D” on the applause meter. I didn’t like him the first time he ran for Governor. All though I am Republican and I did vote in the general primary election on March 20, 2018 this time, I didn’t even cast a vote for him. 

He didn’t talk long and he finally introduced Vice President Mike Pence. Everyone stood up and gave him a big round of applause. The people really liked him and so do I. He talked about all the things the Trump administration has accomplished and about the Tax Cuts.

The Vice President was interrupted 5 times though his speech by those Trump haters who somehow got inside. The Secret Survive and the Police jumped in fast and escorted the guy out. Everybody started yelling “USA, USA, USA.” Then Pence would start his speech again and another Trump hater would start it all over again. 

The police got that guy out while everybody yelled “USA, USA.” Poor Pence, I thought he would never get a chance to speak. The Trump haters must have had it planned to interrupt the Vice President all through his speech but it didn’t stop Pence. I think they finally got all of them out of there and the Vice President went on to deliver a great speech.  

 After it was all over, I went over to the Rivers Casino which is right down the street about a mile away. The only thing was I had to take a big detour because the Police had all the streets around the Westin Hotel completely blocked off and closed. I had to go up to one of the Police and ask him how to get out of there. 

 I haven’t been to the Rivers Casino in years but I was glad I went. There are 5 crap tables. That’s my game. I didn’t stay long and picked up a fast $40. That felt good. I had a ball today and I am glad I went. I just wish I could have had my picture taken with the Vice President.
