Customer Service – MLB Hall of Fame

As you should know by now, I truly appreciate best in class service. With that in mind, congratulations to former White Sox Pitcher Jim Kaat along with the family of former White Sox Outfielder Minnie Miñoso and the family of former Cubs Coach and Scout Buck O’Neil on their selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame this past week.  All well-deserved honors for each inductee.

“The Old Man,” based on a bestselling novel written by Thomas Perry, is a television series on FX. Starring Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow and Amy Brenneman, it tells the story of Dan Chase, a former CIA operative, who’s life is dramatically altered after an encounter with an assassin. If you enjoy spy movies or shows on TV like I do, check out the next episode.

National Tragedy

Heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the many shooting victims in Chicago, Highland Park and throughout the United States this past week. Instead of celebrating our nation’s Independence Day, they are mourning the loss of loved ones due to more gun violence.
