Happiness is an actual email from Radio Hall of Famer Garry Meier

We miss you Garry! Enjoy the beach! WGN's nuts!

Yeah their nuts, and their ankles, too.

Johnsonville hits a homer with its all new Naturals line of sausages and bratwurst

I tried a package of the Mild Italian sausages last night, and they were tremendous, and no headache the day after either because they contain no MSG. The package says "Mild" but these sausages pack a nice little punch which reminds you of a hot Italian sausage without being hot.

They bake up a wonderful golden brown in the oven in no time at all, and go wonderfully with pasta and red sauce.

Thank you, Johnsonville.

Happiness is the first rain of spring

Sweet rain is falling

the grass is growing green

children look to heaven

their faces washing clean.

-- Honeytree's "Sweet Rain", 1973

"Modesty" meets up with Honesty

There once was a dame misnamed Modesty
who met up with a cad they called Honesty
he exclaimed with a leer
Ah, excuse me my dear
but your décolletage is delightfully chesty.
