SUMMARY:The Chicago Cubs - 1945 - 2016
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS FREE\, LIVE\, AND IN-PERSON! \nIn the first half of the 20th century\, the Cubs were one of the mightiest teams in baseball—a perennial pennant contender despite not winning the World Series since 1908. \nThe second half of baseball’s 20th century entrenched a memorable phrase in America’s national consciousness:  The Chicago Cubs were “lovable losers.” Despite having some great players – Ernie Banks\, Ron Santo\, Billy Williams\, Fergie Jenkins\, Greg Maddux\, Mark Grace\, Ryne Sandberg\, Kerry Wood\, Carlos Zambrano\, and Sammy Sosa – the Cubs rarely reached the postseason.  More commonly\, they mostly endured one long losing season after another long losing season.  Empty bleachers\, a crumbling  Wrigley Field\, cheap ownership\, and terrible trades became the lasting hallmarks of the once mighty Chicago Cubs.  Even when the Cubs occasionally field a strong\, competitive team and begin to make a promising postseason run\, something always seems to go wrong.  The Cubs were still “lovable losers.” \nIn 1969\, a black cat running in front of Ron Santo seemed to symbolize the utter futility of the Cubs.  A customarily sure-handed first baseman let a ball go by him\, and the postseason was lost.  A hapless fan wearing headphones reached for a foul ball\, and our World Series hopes were dashed.  On and on it went.  And then came 2015!  The arrival of some of baseball’s most talented prospects created a fun\, exciting\, and competitive team.  In 2016\, the Cubs finally won the World Series! \nThe long\, slow march of the Cubs – from the cheapness and racism of the Wrigley years to the boredom and inactivity of the years of ownership by the Chicago Tribune and by Sam Zell has given way to a unique feeling of hopefulness on the part of Cub fans.  A robust ownership team brought in the financial resources and personnel necessary to begin turning the Cubs into a perennial contender once again.  In this multimedia presentation\, filled with fabulous film clips\, amazing anecdotes\, and nostalgic photos\, we will trace the confounding  Chicago Cubs from 1945 to 2016. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Looking Back - Looking Ahead - 2023 in Review/Predictions for 2024
DESCRIPTION:This is\, without question\, my most eagerly awaited program of the year returns! Last year\, this program sold out at every venue – so reserve your seats early! \nPerhaps it’s just the era we are in\, but this year seemed to be one of the most extraordinary of our lifetimes. We saw a major and terrifying war involving Israel\, the former president of the United States of America being found responsible for sexual assault and for fraud in separate courts while facing significant criminal charges in several venues\, the House of Representatives in utter chaos\, Chicago sports teams collapsing\, a major crisis of migrants at the southern border and in Chicago\, and a wild presidential election awaiting us. \nIn early December of each year\, I present a look back at the year coming to a close. I will list: \n√ Top Ten News Stories of 2023 \n√ Top Ten Quotes of 2023 \n√ Top Ten New Words of 2023 \n√ Important Deaths of 2023 \nPREDICTIONS!\nAnd then comes the part everyone enjoys – I will make ten specific predictions for 2024! Who will be elected president? Will Donald Trump be sent to prison? Will a solution be found for the migrant crisis or for inflation? What new breakthroughs will science and technology offer us in the coming year? \nAnd just so you can keep me honest\, I will show you precisely what I predicted for 2023. We will assess how correct – or not – I was in my predictions for this year!! \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Looking Back - Looking Ahead - 2023 in Review/Predictions for 2024
DESCRIPTION:This is\, without question\, my most eagerly awaited program of the year returns! Last year\, this program sold out at every venue – so reserve your seats early! \nPerhaps it’s just the era we are in\, but this year seemed to be one of the most extraordinary of our lifetimes. We saw a significant war involving Israel\, the former president of the United States of America being found responsible for sexual assault and for fraud in separate courts while facing significant criminal charges in several venues\, the House of Representatives in utter chaos\, Chicago sports teams collapsing\, a major crisis of migrants at the southern border and in Chicago\, and a wild presidential election awaiting us. \nIn early December of each year\, I present a look back at the year coming to a close. I will list: \n√ Top Ten News Stories of 2023 \n√ Top Ten Quotes of 2023 \n√ Top Ten New Words of 2023 \n√ Important Deaths of 2023 \nPREDICTIONS!\nAnd then comes the part everyone enjoys – I will make ten specific predictions for 2024! Who will be elected president? Will Donald Trump be sent to prison? Will a solution be found for the migrant crisis or for inflation? What new breakthroughs will science and technology offer us in the coming year? \nAnd just so you can keep me honest\, I will show you precisely what I predicted for 2023. We will assess how correct – or not – I was in my predictions for this year!! \n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:1973 Time Capsule
DESCRIPTION:My popular ‘Time Capsule’ series lands in the fascinating year of 1973! We will look at the people\, events\, music\, movies\, and inventions that dominated the news 50 years ago. \nWe will look at the stories of some of the famous people who were born and those who died\, examine the most impactful news stories\, and consumer prices from that amazing year of 1973. \n.
