* It’s 6:40 am as I write this. We’ve been up all night covering the veto session. I’m gonna try to get a few hours’ sleep. Isabel, who’s young and can handle it, is in charge for the rest of the morning…

I can’t stop my brain

* How are you this fine morning?

Hungover Rich. Very hungover

I am plotting my new commutes to work from the west suburbs to the northwest suburbs now that they have nearly doubled the toll costs for my commute and priced it out of the convenience zone. Guess I will have to mostly clog up local roads now, since taking public transportation from my home to my office is a pricey 2+hour journey with multiple transfers each way.

Also trying to figure out what kind of dope will ever drive on 390 again since they have tolls about every half mile or so on that thing and adding 45 cents per toll will likely triple or quadruple the cost.

So the Bears have once again lost the plot…How does the Bears’ need to now “look outside Cook County” fit into their need for “mega project” state legislation?

3+ years since they closed on the Arlington Park property and no closer to breaking ground. Incompetence at its finest

Send the Bears packing from whence the team came! Back to Decatur. There are plans to add a horse track and casino down there, so the football team will fit right in.

Have a good rest, Rich. You, and we, are lucky to have Isabel. The blog is in good hands.

Rich - Hopefully you can sleep until Trick or Treaters show up. (Hope mentioning your name doesn’t wake you up.)

=So the Bears have once again lost the plot=

Bears lost the plot (re: Arlington Park) early this morning and will most likely blow it again Sunday (at the Bengals).

Scariest thing in Chicago this halloween are the masked armed agents kidnapping folks in my neighborhood.

Barely made it to 1 a.m. before calling it a night (morning)? Think I’ve finally reached age where I can’t keep up with these marathon sessions.

Too early a start today, with a Halloween text message from an Arizona friend at 5:45 am my time. She forgets about the 2-hour difference. Been jet-lagged since. Catch some zzzz’s, Rich.
