By: Greg BattonFrom time to time, I am asked if it’s ok if a friend puts me down as a reference. The answer is always “yes”. This happened recently and when I was contacted by the person wanting info on my friend, I was surprised that the entire reference check was written. I was sent a series of standard, impersonal questions. It’s very difficult to paint a real human picture without a conversation.

By: Greg BattonI became friends with Gary Gillis about 40 years ago.   It makes me happy that over all that time we are still friends.   Recently, I was a guest on Gary’s podcast, “What’s The Story Pekin?” Big Fun! Check it out here. Sidebar: We recorded at Pekin Library. Wow, that place is beautiful! Driving in the country is something I miss doing.   Recently, I was invited to Wyoming, IL to check out Cozzi Ranch, a not-for-profit oasis where youth and the DD community can fish, hunt and explore.

WHAT IS SATURDAY NIGHT??? As someone who grew up fighting to stay awake most Saturday night’s, just to catch a few skits with his older brother, this movie was extremely enjoyable. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to put on a show like Saturday Night Live, Director Jason Reitman immerses the audience by throwing them right in the mix – 90 minutes before showtime.
