MY SUN DAY NEWS
November 17, 2016
This is another book I sought after hearing the NY Times best-selling author interviewed on WGN radio. He spoke about the creation of the first Japanese transistor radio which led to the Sony Corporation.
On the afternoon of December 8, five Sun City residents will open their homes and hearts to us. They will share with us the beauty of their homes, their holiday traditions, and the giving spirit that is so very present this time of year through the Sun Flower Garden Club’s 7th Annual Holiday House Walk.
Shame on us. Woow Sushi in Algonquin opened its doors in 2013 and even though he repeatedly drove past it, Jim being the moron that he is, never gave it a second thought. It was only after repeated recommendations that he came up with the brilliant idea to check it out. Welcome to my world…
This is science fiction at its best. The movie is adapted from “Story of your Life,” by Ted Chiang. Screenwriter Eric Heisserer should, and probably will be, lauded for his screen adaptation.
My wife has been diagnosed with cancer and I am devastated. We both are. My worry is that she does everything at home. The cooking, cleaning, etc. Where do I start?
At long last the question has been asked and answered: Is 2016 the year that the Cubs break the curse and win the World Series?
Biscuits, grits, and gravy. What more would you expect from a trip to Savannah, GA? Well, actually a lot more. Mike and Addie, Neighborhood 17, recently returned from a trip to Savannah and had a lot to report; and yes, the food was great as well as other sights along the way.
Our “station” in life is to be the best restaurant critics for you, our loyal readers. We “engineer” our articles and try to keep them “on track” even if we have to “blow the whistle” on some of the restaurants. Our “next stop” will be the Cary “depot” and the Tracks Bar and Grill.
Today’s tip is one that could save you tens of thousands of dollars, and many people are not aware of this potential hazard. It involves your washing machine.
This is a book I went looking for because my brother and I stopped in Winterset, IA on our recent road trip to see the birthplace of THE DUKE.
Author Dan Brown has written dozens of books, most of them international best sellers. Probably his most famous was The Da Vinci Code, the first in a series of four novels that includes historical themes and Christianity as motifs, some of them generating controversy.
While it has been wonderful to be able to spend so much time in our living rooms watching the World Series, there is quite a bit that should be done outside this time of the year.
It is very difficult to keep track of my medication. Every now and then, my doctor changes my medications and I have trouble trying to keep it all in order. How can I manage all my prescriptions easily?
It was the perfect Halloween costume. Well, that’s what I thought when Mom showed me the Frankenstein mask I would be wearing that year when I was eight or nine years old. But I should have known better right from the start.

On April 20, 2015 The Girl on the Train became the fastest selling adult novel in history. By December 2015, it had sold 6.5 million copies, selling millions more since then. Several weeks ago this book was still the number one seller in the Chicagoland area.
What do you get when you cross Jimmy Buffet, Jackie Chan, and Disney’s Tiki Room? Give up? You get the Breakers Restaurant in Crystal Lake.
I am not interested in moving out of my home! My children are encouraging me to consider moving to assisted living because I have fallen twice. I did not get hurt, yet they are alarmed. Any suggestions?
Who hasn’t dreamed about an island vacation? I was surprised to see an entire magazine on the topic. Evidently, many people must do more than dream. Every issue of Islands magazine provides a nearly unlimited number of island destinations. Editors aim to make it simple to pick the best vacation based on your needs and desires.
At a certain point early this summer, I became very disenchanted with ornamental grasses. I was seeing so many ornamental grasses that were just not growing well. In many yards, the ornamental grasses were either small or only portions of the plants were showing any signs of life. On the other side of the spectrum, some ornamental grasses were taking over planting beds. It seemed like a no-win situation.
I moved into Sun City about six months ago and would like to replace or repaint my faded address numbers. Is there anywhere that you know of that they can be purchased? If not, any hints as to what type of paint can be used for touching up the numbers?
It’s still several weeks until Halloween, and already the creatures of the night have come calling. Our first visitor last night was that toad — as big as a tennis ball — who likes to sit next to the screen door just outside the back door. He’s been showing up now and then just after sunset to sit in the same spot, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what he wants.

While sitting in the Drendel Ballroom engrossed in a heated game of Bingo, we got a hot tip on a new breakfast joint. One of the “Bingo Queens” told us about Tony’s Cafe in Crystal Lake.
You may want to skim this book while considering it as a gift for someone you know who is constantly focused on their cell phone, unable to string together two sentences together without saying “um, like…awesome.”
Lately, the lyrics from “Turn, Turn, Turn,” the 1960s song by The Byrds, have been floating around in my head. ‘To everything-turn, turn, turn. There is a season – turn, turn, turn. And a time to every purpose under heaven.” I believe the term is “earworm,” and now I am passing it along. “A time to be born, a time to die. A time to plant, a time to reap. A time to kill, a time to heal. A time to laugh, a time to weep.”

At the risk of being redundant, which I am, I repeat for the umpteenth time: true stories make the best movies.
We have mice nesting in our bathroom vent pipe, and the attic insulation is riddled with tunnels, so I assume we may have mice in other ducts as well. The exterminator says to kill them, but we don’t want our house to stink of dead mice. Is there a way to drive them out other than by calling in the Pied Piper?
I landed in the hospital after a fall in my home. I had to go to rehab, and I don’t want it to happen again! I consider myself in good shape and a youthful senior, yet this fall took me by surprise. What can I do?
My clothes dryer has become pretty opinionated lately.
My dad has been released from the hospital to a rehab facility. I have been informed by the staff there that he has is a very difficult patient.
There are several areas of a refrigerator that need to be maintained to keep it operating properly.
