The northern kingdom consisted of the remaining tribes and was called Israel. After the establishment of two short-lived capitals at Shechem and Tirzah, King Omri established his capital at Samaria, where it would remain for the duration of the northern kingdom’s existence. The kingdom of Israel was larger in size and controlled more significant trade routes than did Judah. Territorial boundaries expanded and contracted over time as Israel and Judah engaged in conflict with one another and their neighbors. Evidence from outside the Bible suggests that Israel was more powerful than Judah. However, <b>Israel was the more ephemeral kingdom of the two</b>. Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 B.C.E., whereas Judah, though severely damaged, narrowly escaped the dreadful onslaught of the Assyrian war machine.

I am supposed to hate President Trump, America, past and present, my skin color and myself.<br />
<br />
Not gonna.<br />
<br />
The people who insist that I do range from celebrated faux-intellectual David Brooks to members of my vast and blue-collar family.<br />
<br />
I love blue collars, but only wore one at work when I had to wear one. For 46 of my 68 years, I was a high school English teacher, I consider teaching a profession. I joined no union to ensure my continued pay days. I am an independent contractor, like an accountant, or lawyer. You know, other professionals?<br />
<br />
I am an Irish Catholic. I adhere to the faith that fought Communism and teaches eternal truths. Too many Irish Catholics adhere to the moveable feast of Cardinal Teddy McCarrick's American neo-Unitarian catholic thought - abortion is a personal choice and marriage is . . . well, who's to say?<br />
<br />
My father and his brothers fought fascism and communism. My uncle Bart told me that the difference between Nazis and Commies is the difference between horseshit and manure,<br />
<br />
My Uncle Bud sealed an expensive crematorium shut that was purchased by Cook Country Hospital and dedicated to burning aborted babies. He threatened to quit as Chief Engineer of Cook County if ordered to unseal it and Cook County Board President George Dunne backed down. Until, Uncle Bud retired.<br />
<br />
That was long ago.<br />
<br />
Now, things have evolved and the union that was once led by people who fought abortion and Communism are Ok <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/john-kass/ct-democratic-cities-kass-20200904-7y4mrm2jozf6zia5y3ftqct3cy-story.html">with policies embraced by Abortionists and the Communists</a>, Rioters and Looters.<br />
<br />
Donald Trump was a real estate hustler and a media darling when Uncle Bud and Uncle Bart had something to say about my beliefs and actions. They are at home with Christ and we are taking a knee when told to do so and always trying to stay WOKE.<br />
<br />
I never had the slightest regard for Donald Trump, until he became the 45th President of the United States. I viewed him to be a narcissist and a boor.<br />
<br />
I believe that he still might be both, but also more so.<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
In fact, any scan of my blog posts attests to that statement,<br />
<br />
Once elected, Donald J. Trump was treated to a Tsunami of hate that runs madly to its yet unfinished spiral down into history.<br />
<br />
Once elected and inaugurated, Donald J. Trump did exactly what he promised to do. He repealed Obama Care, re-negotiated the idiotic NAFTA trade scam, enforced genuine immigration reforms, reversed Obama's fascist (benefited oligarchs like Warren Buffet) Energy policies, enacted real reform in Education.<br />
<br />
Doing exactly what he said he would do set loose the Dogs of WOKE - Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand all of the JOURNOLISTAS of Obama and of course David Brooks.<br />
<br />
From the howling cast of <i>Hamilton</i> to unemployed jazz musicians, from artists dependent upon the 65,000 annual NEH grants, to skilled tradesmen with paid up dues, to every media outlet and academic charlatan in the United States President Trump and his family and supporters are reviled, denounced and lied about with active and energetic joy.<br />
<br />
No President has ever been treated as badly and with zero let-up. Even President Obama was cut yards of slack and merited very little consideration.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
President Trump seems to invite greater and more virulent hostility, but he also seems impervious to the darts and spit-balls. Trump's wife and kids have my sympathies. The President? Not so much, He calls the tune.<br />
<br />
That said, I detest the people who hate President Trump much more than their target. They are the people who hate everything that I admire - loyalty, genuine patriotism, religious tolerance, dedication to vocation and willingness to help a neighbor. People can get away with any lie, accusation, or calumny, because <i>everyone </i>is willing accept anything said or claimed against Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
Lately, President Trump is claimed to have denigrated fallen American soldiers.<br />
<br />
I doubt that very much. This is another morality spiral - out of control.<br />
<br />
There are 58 days until the election and President Trump will trounce Joe Biden on November 3rd.<br />
<br />
Why will he win? David Brooks. David Brooks is a fatuous ninny, with a career as a fatuous ninny.<br />
<br />
Here is David Brooks on why Trump can't win :<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Donald Trump has been running on a sense of menace, a sense that there is a lot of danger out there in the world and that he is the one to restore order. And so the keystone of his visit was the image of him standing behind — in front of a burned-out buildings, and he wants to convey that message.<br />
Joe Biden has run as a uniter. And so he went to speak to the Blake family. He pleased them very much with his sensitivity of what they were going through.<br />
And you would have to say the evidence so far is that the law and order campaign that Trump has been running since the convention has not shown much impact on the polls. He is still down seven or eight points.<br />
If you ask people on a whole range of measures which candidate makes you feel safe, Biden wins on — any way you ask that question, Biden wins. If you ask people, is Donald Trump making it worse, 55 percent say Donald Trump is making it worse.<br />
So, the law and order message, at least so far, and as expressed through Kenosha, not working...<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/09/05/david_brooks_trump_campaigning_as_the_one_to_restore_order_in_a_dangerous_world_not_working.html">Real Clear Politics</a></blockquote>
<br />
Biden Wins! Morality spiral.<br />
<br />
David Brooks backed Hilary Clinton in 2016 and predicted a thorough drubbing of Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
David Brooks deplores Trump supporters - guys like me.<br />
<br />
This from his pre-2016 election day <i><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/04/opinion/the-banality-of-change.html">New York Times</a></i> brain-ooze:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A few weeks ago I met a guy in Idaho who was absolutely certain that Donald Trump would win this election. He was wearing tattered, soiled overalls, missing a bunch of teeth and was unnaturally skinny. He was probably about 50, but his haggard face looked 70. He was getting by aimlessly as a handyman.<br />
I pointed to the polls and tried to persuade him that Hillary Clinton might win, but it was like telling him a sea gull could play billiards. Everybody he knows is voting Trump so his entire lived experience points to a Trump landslide. He was a funny, kind guy, but you got the impression his opportunities had been narrowed by forces outside his control.</blockquote>
<br />
Trump wins and will win again! He will win because people like David Brooks, caitiffs, poltroons, and alarmist wimps, hate happy people who can read a news article, pay attention to human events, pay their own way and cast their own votes. Like the guy in Idaho in soiled overalls, millions more Americans will cast their votes for Donald J. Trump.<br />
<br />
Because filthy people like David Brooks feed the morality spiral, it will bring many millions of people " wearing tattered, soiled overalls, missing a bunch of teeth and . . . unnaturally skinny." to the polls to pull for Trump.</div>

<br />
Eat the Peach, Pitch the Stone, but Save the Ball Mason Jar - Hoosier Evolution<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you like to throw a stone at me?<br />
<br />
Here, take all that’s left of my peach.<br />
<br />
Blood-red, deep:<br />
<br />
Heaven knows how it came to pass.<br />
<br />
Somebody’s pound of flesh rendered up.<br />
<br />
Wrinkled with secrets<br />
<br />
And hard with the intention to keep them.<br />
<br />
Why, from silvery peach-bloom,<br />
<br />
From that shallow-silvery wine-glass on a short stem<br />
<br />
This rolling, dropping, heavy globule?<br />
<br />
I am thinking, of course, of the peach before I ate it.<br />
<br />
Peach - DH Lawrence<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I live in peach country, northwest Indiana and southwest Michigan, and revel in the lucious fruit all summer long. The Peach is the Ava Gardner of fruit and it would damage a love-sick heart like Frank Sinatra's with its tantalyzing flesh, alluring syrup and beguiling aroma. I can get huge, juicy and fragrant Michigan peaches from the weekly Farmer's Market located at 8th Street & Washington every Saturday. These are tree ripened beauties for $.99 a pound, or $15 a bushel. The way I go through peaches between July and September the bushel would make sense, but I was never a thrifty gent. The peach appeals to the wastrel, the prodigal and the easily allured.<br />
<br />
I would tear my Covid-19 Mask off, in front of Dr. Fauci and a squad of underfed, snarling Karens wearing I had Twenty Abortions T-Shirts, if offered a lush sun-rise colored Michigan peach and gnaw on it to the stone and wipe my chins with the PPI intended to arrest Covid dropplets.<br />
<br />
I get allured.<br />
<br />
I devour peaches from July, until the supply runs dry and go fresh peach abstinent until next summer. I will eat canned and jarred peaches, which is like kissing a homely cousin, and dream of the return of Amish Peach Pies, Cabo’s Peach Smoothies, Peaches and Cream for breakfast and Fresh Peach Chutneys.<br />
<br />
I am a lousy baker, but a pretty fair cook and peaches make a wonderful addition to pork and chicken dishes. My peach pies are unworthy of the fruit itself. A cobbler? Maybe. A Pie, or cake? Not a chance in hell. Peaches make great sauces and jellies and living in this Hoosier Heaven I am surrounded by Mason Jars.<br />
<br />
I have put up peaches, but not for a few years. They never seem to live long enough to get par-boiled, peeled and sliced for the Bell Mason Jar.<br />
<br />
The Ball Mason jar was born in Buffalo New York, but moved to Muncie, Indiana, in 1889. The glass blown to make the iconic green tinted glass jars came from the sands of now vanished Hoosier Slide right here in Michigan City,Indiana. The Hoosier Slide was over 200 feet at its peak and dominated the lakeshore, until the sands sent by the rail-car load to Ball in Muncie erased the dune from the shorescape 100 years ago. Ubi Sunt? <br />
<br />
Well, many of those jars, bottles, ashtrays and glassy geegaws returned to the Lake and now are returning to the shore as indigenous jewelry which is sold by Michigan City Dunebillies in the many high-end Yuppie Shoppes for Fine People of Illinois (FIPS) on Franklin Street and near Lighthouse Mall.<br />
<br />
Lake Michigan Beach Glass is formed by the undulating waves and time from glass bottles tossed into the Lake by idiots for generations. These are beautiful local artifacts that smart locals sell to the Fine People of Illinois for up $65 per collection. God beat all of us to recycling. When an idiot tossed his Old Dutch Root Beer Bottle, a Drewerys, a Green River, or an empty Ball Mason Jar into the foamy lquid of Lake Michigan, God began setting Nature to its task. “ LO, make some Beach Glass for generations upon generation, while a I Smote this Yamhead’s ass!”<br />
<br />
And it came to pass!<br />
<br />
So, a few decades ago some Yamhead walking along the Lighthouse wall polished off a pint of peaches and tosses his Ball Mason jar into the mighty waves of Lake Michigan and then force and matter come together to make beautiful beach glass.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The great-grand daughters of the said Yamhead take the South Shore Line from their hipster homestead in Streeterville on the Mag Mile, in order to play at the Blue Chip Casino and win a hundo-a piece on the slots. They take their boodle to Franklin Street and buy beach glass that originated when the grand-Yamhead was too lazy to take his Ball Mason Jar home or find a proper recpticle,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The girls spend the last twenty on a bushel of Peaches at the Farmer's Market at 8th & Franklin. Then, they heft the heavy fruit aboard the South Shore Lines for the long trek back to Streeterville.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Peaches, to glass, to beach glass. Eat the Peach. Toss the stone. Save the Mason Jar.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Science, kids! Everyone loves science.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I love peaches and Mason jars.<br />

I got up this morning to a bold orange-colored sky, announcing a glorious Sunday in Michigan City, Indiana.</div>
<br />
Mass is at 10 AM at St. Stanislaus, six blocks to the south of my home and up a paved street that was once a sand dune.<br />
<br />
I read the news, beginning with <a href="http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/">Second City Cop</a>, the only reliable source of news in Chicago and run by a mysteriously literate, witty and clear-thinking police officer.<br />
<br />
The officer/writer included a Chicago media report of the slaughter of the baby and the wounding of his mother, while they returned home from a laundromat near 60th & Halsted in the Englewood neighborhood. A car pulled up next to their car and seven to eight shots were fired, hitting the infant in the chest and grazing the mother.<br />
<br />
Second City Cop knows all too well that no shooter will be brought to trial for this horror, but points directly at who is responsible: Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, her creature States Attorney Kim Foxx, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart and Chief of Cook County Courts Tim Evans.<br />
<br />
These pandering politicians are intellectual lightweights and shameless hucksters, concerned only with playing race-opportunity cards at every deal.<br />
<br />
Tom Dart's press people paint him as a really WOKE and thoughtful agent of change, but he should act like a sheriff. Hollywood actor John Cusack already grabbed the role that Dart insists upon playing to the advantage of no one but himself and his connected siblings. Dart has allowed the worst of the worst back on to Chicago's streets and preened before the likes of the oafish Mike Flannery and other propaganda spinners in Chicago's supine media.<br />
<br />
Mayor Lightfoot proved herself to be a total incompetent this past May when she gave the green light to looters and Marxist agitators.<br />
<br />
Toni Preckwinkle is a proven bigot and a vindictive power wielding oligarch.<br />
<br />
Tim Evans is a career Democratic Party hack who parlayed his seat as a do-nothing alderman into a race-baiting grievance-policy autocrat who sends career criminals back to do havoc on Chicago.<br />
<br />
The common shield used by each of these vote-sucking hacks is the strawman "Gun Violence."<br />
<br />
The car used to drive up to the infant and his mother was driven by a thug. The 7-8 bullets sprayed into the mother and child were helped along by the fingers of thugs.<br />
<br />
Guns are inanimate objects.<br />
<br />
Politicians and thugs know exactly what they are doing and they could care less about consequences.<br />
<br />
I buried a score or more of bright and talented young men when I worked at Leo High School -1995-2016. From Eric Ersery to Jason Riley to Antonio Collins, same old, same old - no one was caught, charged, tried, convicted, or imprisoned. <i>Hey, it's gun violence. No harm, no foul. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I woke up in Michigan City, Indiana. There are shots fired in this Indiana town, but they do not become part of a compelling narrative used to keep grifters elected to office.<br />
<br />
I will go to 10 AM Mass at St. Stanislaus and say a prayer for the baby's mother. The child is home with Christ.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2020/6/27/21305650/sincere-gaston-1-year-old-baby-killed-woman-child-shot-englewood-yale">Chicago, Cook County and Illinois will do absolutely nothing for the grieving and wounded mother. </a><br />
<br />
Tom Dart will preen for Mike Flannery. Lori Lightfoot will blame Trump. Toni Preckwinkle will raise taxes on everything and anything but her perpetual scowl and contempt for anyone not Toni Preckwinkle, Kim Foxx will whine about police officers leading happy lives and she can't have that, and Tim Evans will open the iron bars and let more thugs out to exact more gun violence.<br />
<br />
These politicians are not the only problem, however.<br />
<br />
The other problem is that nice people will continue to allow Dart, Lightfoot, Preckwinkle and Foxx to hold public office, Can't do a damn thing about Judge Tim Evans. He ain't going nowhere.<br />
<br />
Neither is a former one-year old from Englewood.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Wesley Dioneo is the only son of Chicagoland real estate tycoon, Martin Dioneo and his society maven wife Allyson. Martin Dioneo caught the COVID-19 virus from his Laplander personal trainer and is on a ventilator in Chicago's Northwestern Medical Center. Allyson is holed up in the couple's massive east Lake Shore Drive apartment building a score of yards from the iconic Drake Hotel.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Allyson has sent Wesley Dioneo to the family get-away home at Stop 30 lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, Indiana. Wesley is a senior at St. Ignatius College Prep and had been since the school shut down on March 16, 2020. Ally immediately sent Wesley to Long Beach, where he can be safe.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Wesley invites over his pals and trusted companions, the Nardo Bothers and Habib( Declan & Brian) and Habib Samer for a few days of social distancing, Super Smash Brothers and Pater Dioneo's Czech beer cellar. The quartet do what young men do - eat, play and spirit up the atmosphere with verbal assaults upon cant and cowardice. They tire of Super Smash Brothers, if that does not stretch the imagination, wit and Wesley proposes a story telling contest with the prize of his high-end kayak going to the person declared the winner.</span></span><br />

Wesley decided to allow Declan Nardo the opportunity to tell his tale about beating Chicago Bulls 1993 Title winning Myrmidon John Paxson at a game of horse, when the aging NBA star visited La Lumiere's Marsch Gym, a few years after that school own the national high school basketball title.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">No one rebelled, but some tried to exercise common sense and were immediately arrested and hauled into court. Essential businesses, like the vitamin factory where this writer works remained open and employees were mandated to wear masks, gloves and maintain a social distance of 6-12 feet from one another. People shrugged and went about shipping Gummie Vitamins for Women, Men, Children, Stressed, Sleepless, or WOKE Americans. In Chicago 12 people were gunned down; Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot extended the stay-at-home-order to well past April 7, 2020. What can you do? Get a haircut? Well, only you if you are the Mayor. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">But our tale about tales is set in Indiana! Most definitely. Northwest Indiana is a part of the Chicagoland market for media, politics and consumption. Smart Chicagoans buy homes in this lake front region, because the quality of life is far superior to the Big Windy. Kids do not get gunned down every three hours, as they do in Chicago and Indiana is not a bankrupted oligarchy run by a Governor who waddles with penguins and traffics in marijuana. </span></span><br />

If you call your shot, <i>Hook, Set, Jumper, Backboard, In with Rim, Nothing But Net, </i><b style="font-style: italic;">that</b> is what counts. If one makes the basket, the opponent must make the exact same shot and from the exact same position on the floor. If one misses he gets a letter, until the first player with <b>HORSE </b>totals out.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">" So, Paxson gave me first shot. I went to the top left side of the Key and called Set Shot - Nothing But Net. Missed. Paxson went to half court and called Jumper - Backboard - nailed it. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">We shot back and forth for twenty minutes, and Paxson called Under Hand from Free Throw Line SWISH and Nailed it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I did the same and nailed it. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Then he says Left Hand Set Shot -Back Board!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I called Shot from the left top of Key Swish. Dropped like a bad habit! John Paxson Missed. HORSE!!!!!! I beat Number 5!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">John Paxson shook my hand!"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">At that, a weak round of applause nodded a nice bit of approval for Declan Nardo's true account of his victory over a legend. He was only "dead" for a moment. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Amy tossed her golden locks and chirped, " Mine is a tale of struggle and courage in the face of circumstances of birth.

Recap of parts I-IV<br />
Wesley Dioneo is the only son of Chicagoland real estate tycoon, Martin Dioneo and his society maven wife Allyson. Martin Dioneo caught the COVID-19 virus from his Laplander personal trainer and is on a ventilator in Chicago's Northwestern Medical Center. Allyson is holed up in the couple's massive east Lake Shore Drive apartment building a score of yards from the iconic Drake Hotel.<br />
Allyson has sent Wesley Dioneo to the family get-away home at Stop 30 lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, Indiana. Wesley is a senior at St. Ignatius College Prep and had been since the school shut down on March 16, 2020. Ally immediately sent Wesley to Long Beach, where he can be safe.<br />
Wesley invites over his pals and trusted companions, the Nardo Bothers and Habib( Declan & Brian) and Habib Samer for a few days of social distancing, Super Smash Brothers and Pater Dioneo's Czech beer cellar. The quartet do what young men do - eat, play and spirit up the atmosphere with verbal assaults upon cant and cowardice. They tire of Super Smash Brothers, if that does not stretch the imagination, wit and Wesley proposes a story telling contest with the prize of his high-end kayak going to the person declared the winner.<br />
Into this subjective yarn tossing arena will arrive six LaPorte County lovelies: Addison Pawliak, Paisley Ewan, Aaliyah Justice, Genesis Mullen, Kennedy Lynch, and Amy Kinsley Briddlestone. Wesley decided to allow Declan Nardo the opportunity to tell his tale about beating Chicago Bulls 1993 Title winning Myrmidon John Paxson at a game of horse, when the aging NBA star visited La Lumiere's Marsch Gym, a few years after that school own the national high school basketball title<br />

Addison Pawliak, Paisley Ewan, Aaliyah Justice, Genesis Mullen, Kennedy Lynch, and Amy Kinsley Briddlestone arrived at the Stop # 30 address of Wesley Dioneo at different times and by different modes of transportation.<br />
<br />
Amy Kinsley Briddlestone was dropped off from a 2019 Lexus by her older sister who was going to Meijer's on Franklin, after coming home from Ball State, when the Corona-19 shut down all places of higher learning in Indiana. " Thank God, you are staying at Wesley's for a day or two, or there would be no sushi for anyone. Mom bought a shit-ton of California Rolls, Crispy Crab and Crunchy Shrimp and I get home - nothing."<br />
<br />
Amy was non-plused, but should have been plused as she had in fact hogged down six trays of cold fishy goodness, while binge watching <i>Peaky Blinders</i> on Netflix, " Mom had some too, Miss Bitch."<br />
<br />
Mom had twoof the fishy treats and the fetching Miss Amy gulped down the remaining six tasty sorta- sushi treats. They were cheaper than Hokkaido'son Franklin Street and adequate to the needs of cold fish consuming American women.<br />
<br />
Amy Kinsley Briddlestone was a powerful self-advocate and no stranger to the loneliness of getting everything that she wanted immediately. She wanted Wesley Dioneo, but the swashbuckling young man had set his cap for an ideal young woman that he would not meet for many years to come. Amy Briddlestone was what young women of the current generation refer to as a Homey Hopper. A Homey Hopper is usually a male who would cozy up to a lovely young lady in order to have his wicked ways with her much more attractive best friend forever.<br />
<br />
Predator Amy had shamelessly led -on Habib Samer and Habib could have cared less, as the fetching Amy K. Briddlestome was his . . .for a while. Habib will remain madly loved the tawny-haired, ambitious and sexy young siren. He wouldonly get over Amy Briddleston sometime in late 2020s, while serving his medical residency at Indiana University Medical Center and would capture the heart of Romanian blood technician.<br />
<br />
Kennedy Lynch and Paisely Ewan were co-captains of the Marquette Volleyball team and lived in Long Beach. Paisley's Mom and Dad were partners with Winston & Strawn in Chicago and decided to practice in Illinois, but live a very pleasant and full life in Indiana. Ewan family of five were immersed in all aspects of Long Beach. Paisley was the oldest child and doted on her younger brother and sister - both five years her junior. Buck was in 8th grade. Hannah was in third grade there and still grieved that Mr. Lynch was no longer her Principal.<br />
<br />
Kennedy Lynch had a very hard time when he father was accused of sexual harassment by a young woman teacher who could not accurately tell her class what city was the capital of Michigan, " It is Detroit. The most important city. Anyway we live in Indiana and its capital is South Bend. Our next President is South Bend's mayor!"<br />
<br />
Kennedy knew that her father was a sweet, caring and affectionate gentleman and well-respected by everyone who knew him. However, these are strange time. A young woman can accuse any man of any misdeed and not need to back up her claim; especially in the Catholic Diocese of Gary, where the leadership avoids unpleasantries and possible public obloquy at the expense of truth. The new bishop's motto should be <b>Vitare super omnia quaestio Above all Things Avoid The Question</b>. Ken Lynch signed a non disclosure agreement and a contract to run a Catholic school in the Diocese of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Kennedy was sad to witness her father's heartbreak, which he patched up with hard work and a cheerful demeanor. The accusing teacher received a payment from the Diocese of Gary and was promoted to assistant principal.<br />
<br />
Kennedy was a lovely redhead with a fierce sense of justice and an athlete's determination. Kennedy and Brian Nardo were "dates."<br />
<br />
Addison Pawliak was prettier than Amy, less athletic than Kennedy, but a better student than Paisley and could dance and sing better than both Genesis Mullen and Aiyliah Justice, Addison rode her bicycle from her ranch house in Queen of All Saints parish on Woodland Avenue. Addison worked as a car-hop for Carlson's Drive-In on Coolspring. Addy was excited to begin work there again, but the virus pushed every elected official in America to shut the door on normality and order shelter in place universal. Even Indiana erred on the side of panic. She does her schoolwork on a computer and helps her Mom around the house. Getting out for a stay-over is just what she needed and Mom was only too glad, because she and her husband loved and respected young Wesley and his circle of friends. Mom id not care much for Amy K., but Addy loved her even though she treated people like ATM cards. Some people do.<br />
<br />
Addison's Dad worked in Burns Harbor at the steel works, as had his father and his father's father. He made good money and Addison's mother Rita was a stay-at-home Mom in world of have it all feminists. Addison wanted to be a Michigan City cop. She was accepted at Purdue Northwest for the 2020-2021 academic year. Addison was madly in love with Declan Nardo. Addison had recently led three other Marquette Students to Chicago's Daley Center, as President of the school's Right to Life Society.<br />
<br />
Cousins Genesis Mullen and Aaliyah Justice were grandchildren of the Reverend Titus Justice,STD of the Pines AME Church on Route 12 on northwest corner of Michigan City. Genesis and<br />
Aaliyah were seniors at Marquette High School and regular speakers for the Rotary and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Both girls played softball and participated in every musical and dance feature the high school provided. They were activists and members of the Michigan City Junior Police Commission that helped local African American youth groups find common ground through sports and arts programs. Blue Chip Casino recognized both young ladies as urban achievers and offered both post-secondary scholarships to Purdue Lafayette where both ladies would attend in the fall of 2020. Their grandfather, who served on the Michigan City Police Commission and served as the voice of the soul to the African American Community profited little from his ministry, because he gave away most of his salary to needy families and sent each of his children and grandchildren to Catholic schools for the discipline that he established at the family dinner table.<br />
<br />
The girls were best friend of Amy Biddlestone and shared her admiration fo Wesley Dioneo. They arrived at Casa Dioneo with a bags loaded with Jimmy Johns Submarines.<br />
<br />
The level of noise increased and Wesley commanded everyone's attention with his proposed Tale Telling Tournament. " Everyone tells a story, but me. Here are the Rules<br />
<br />
1. The story must amuse<br />
2. The story must teach a lesson<br />
3. The story must reveal the character of the person telling that story<br />
4. The story must be something to bring people together<br />
5. The story must acknowledge our own mortality<br />
<br />
I will determine which story best fulfills each of the five points, amuse, teach, offer a revelation, build community, admit to Life's brevity."<br />
<br />
Declan asked for a do over. It was agreed that Declan would re-tell the story of how he bested John Paxson in a game of horse.<br />

I always wanted to be regarded for my worth. My family valued hard work. Hard physical work was the litmus test.<br />
<br />
My Grandfather, Lawrence Hickey of Crinnie Hill, Castlisland, County Kerry, Ireland, held that " NO man could DIG like Martin Ford!"<br />
<br />
If one had been presented the Medal of Honor and three honorary degrees from Columbia University, Harvard and a life membership to Total Fitness, it would mean less than nothing compared to Martin Ford, of Scartaglen, Count Kerry, and his ability to dig a 6' by 4'12" deep trench for plumbing. As if???!!!<br />
<br />
I worked at Chicken Unlimited on 79thst & Wood Street in Chicago, Illinois, from August until October 1968 and I was fired. Gene Mahony fired me, because I could not deep fry chicken pieces in a consistent manner. I could not. No how. No way.<br />
<br />
I went to work at Gee Lumber on 79th Street and did so there for as long a as I wanted. I cut lumber, mixed cement, threaded pipe for plumbling and bent pipe for electrical uses. I was and remain a very hard competent and hard working employee. From 1975 until I was very discourteously fired by a dull, but WOKE scold Catholic high school principal in December 2019, I worked as a very honored and respected English teacher. My heart is broken and choose not to teach again. Kids and parents are wonderful, Catholic schools seem to be run by people who could not cut it in the classroom and political play-actors. I'll have none of it.<br />
<br />
A person must work in order to fulfill the obligation to God, who opens our eyes in the morning.<br />
<br />
I work and will do hard labor.<br />
<br />
I work 8-12 hours per day as a packer and shipper of vitamins in Port of Indiana, Indiana. I am very happy to do this work.<br />
<br />
The work is tiresome, but not hard. The work is important, but not crucial.<br />
<br />
After 8, or 12 hours of work, I go home and read <i>The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Anabasis, Contra Catalina, or </i>the latest issue of <i><u>Jugs and Ammo.</u></i><br />
<br />
Now, some cousins might find my tone here to be a bit sardonic. That is true and I tend to be sardonic and I tend to be a bit of a <i>know it all</i>. Well, dang me, dang me, they outta take a rope and hang me. Hang me from the highest tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woman would you weep for me. Do Doit Do Duh Doit Doin Do!!!!<br />
<br />
That aside. I value hard work.<br />
<br />
Today, we seem to honor work that was normally doing one's job.<br />
<br />
" Oh, Thank you! Thank you, for your service!!" is chirped at every small courtesy performed by a waitress, attendant, or hanger-on.<br />
<br />
Nurses are now Sgt. Stryker, taking that last puff on a square and that Jap bullet in the back while the six Lads raise Old Glory on Suribachi.<br />
<br />
Clerks at Service Six on Route 12, wearing masks and palming the "losing" Hossier Lotto tickets of dowagers and dumb-asses, are deemed the sons of Audie Murphy and Sergeant York.<br />
<br />
Let me just say that during this, our Months of Infamy & Days of Harrowing Sorrow, that I am a hero.<br />
<br />
Yes!<br />
<br />
I am a son of the Myrmidons! The Greave wearing Greeks! The Baddest of the Bad!<br />
<br />
I have been making Gummy Vitamins as an Essential Worker in Port of Indiana, Indiana!<br />
<br />
Listen up. I rise at 4:15 A.M. and that is Four Fifteen Ante Meridian, Bub! Every day. Unless some event, or upset, interrupts that condition, mind you, I get up at the first chirps of the sparrows.<br />
<br />
I immediately S, S & S and, if you need to know the full meanings of that tripling consonant acronym, it means to shower, to shave, and to see that the internal gastronomical organs are evacuated - soundly.<br />
<br />
Sounds like steam escaping!<br />
<br />
My boots are drawn on with great care and attention, as I know that socks can bunch up and cause an eight hours of serious agitation and irritation. My boots are Red Wings #401 and made in Minnesota.<br />
<br />
I drive from Michigan City on the historic Route 12 and wind the tree-lined road with great care as the route is winding and deer are incredibly stupid. Deer wait until the car gets within killing distance before they 'decide' to take the plunge across the road and blast from fender, to hood, to trunk over your car.<br />
<br />
The drive takes 20 minutes - tops. I had been taking the lovely and winding Route 12, but several encounters with Bambi and his cousins shifted my course to the more direct Route 20 - a few miles to the south and somewhat parallel.<br />
<br />
I arrive, punch in, and wash my hands with great care. People put our product in their mouths and every person in the plant pays careful attention to that fact. We wear hair nets, beard nets, gloves, safety glasses and of course PPI masks. The masks properly worn tend to fog up my glasses and so when social distancing allows I shift the mask under the old schnozoola.<br />
<br />
I immediately grab a pallet jack and find a stack of undamaged pallets and deposit them at my line station. Then, I check with my line boss about the codes on the labels and the product to see how many boxes I will need to make for the shift. Generally, two to three hundred for starters.<br />
<br />
An hour later, the person packing the plastic wrapped bundles of three bottles of Gummy Vitamins will signal me that product is coming down the line.<br />
<br />
The line begins in the sealed-off production room where six to eight of my co-workers separate hundreds of pounds of Gummies, place caps on a conveyor, place bottles on another belted line and monitor the weights. The bottle capping machine is whirling miracle of mechanical madness. The nine bottle cap-ers look like Oscar statuettes pounding and twisting plastic caps and seals onto the bottles containing exact weights of product.<br />
<br />
Then the hundreds of bottles waddle to the labeling station, the plastic wrapper and to the packer. The packer inspects the bottles for damage, flawed Gummies, or bad labeling and tosses any package that does not meet standards. I pack as well as stack. The packer must check for proper codes that are inked onto the bottles just before they get bright labels. My old eyes fail me at this task and when I can no longer properly check for the code, my line boss will send over younger eyes.<br />
<br />
Four packages of three bottles go into each box and then the box is thrust into the automatic taping and sealing device and conveyed to my mighty mitts, which I use to begin stacking boxes on the pallet.<br />

<br />
Generally the boxes weigh between five and ten pounds each, but the Large Tall Boy weigh about fifteen pounds. I get a very good work-out lifting and twisting and running and re-working the flawed bottles and product. My pallets have ten stacks of fourteen rows arranged according to product shipping manifest.<br />
<br />
I wear a back brace and lift with my legs. The work is tiring, but easy and nothing like waitering, bar tending, walking a police beat, nursing, or carpentry - to say nothing of cement work, garbage collection, farming, or clerking.<br />
<br />
The hardest part for me is shrink wrapping the full pallet which requires me to <i>Limbo LOW</i>, while wrapping plastic wrap around the pallet with ever increasing speed. " Look at that white man, Go!!!"<br />
<br />
I get very dizzy and winded doing that onerous task.<br />
<br />
I wait for my line boss to begin making up two pallet tags which I attach, after the Quality Control Officer inspects my pallet to ensure that the boxes are arranged according to the shipping orders. I have yet to undo one of my pallets, I am proud to say.<br />
<br />
Once tagged, I grab a pallet jack and haul my stack to the warehouse where a fork-lift driver picks it up and takes it to a waiting trailer.<br />
<br />
After eight to ten hours, we will have completed six to seven pallets. That's 140 boxes times six or seven. Not a bad day' s work,<br />
<br />
I have been blessed to work all through this COVID-19 pandemic. I have an essential worker paper in my car. I was never once stopped by law enforcement during the Stay at Home months of March-April.<br />
<br />
I enjoy the work and the lovely people with whom I sweat on a daily basis. These people humble me. Black, Mexican and white. I am the oldest person on the floor. Most are fighting to feed,clothe and house their families at a very low wage. Think National Minimum Wage and some change.<br />
<br />
They are the heroes and they are so without that damn bug, or grifter politicians using a crisis to lord it over people.<br />
<br />
Workers are heroes; not Sgt. Stryker, or Audie Murphy. That is plenty for me, anyway.<br />

Fame is but a fleeting shadow,<br />
Glory but an empty name;<br />
Spite of all that I have gone through,<br />
’Tis, I find, a losing game:<br />
<br />
Without interest, without money,<br />
Nothing can a soldier gain;<br />
Though he be the sole survivor<br />
Of a host of comrades slain:<br />
<br />
What avail these glitt’ring honours,<br />
Which a queen laid on my breast;<br />
Though I’ve sought them from my childhood,<br />
Would I’d fallen with the rest:<br />
<br />
Then my heart had not been broken<br />
Life had fled without a sigh;<br />
Hunger presses—I am fainting—<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;">Recap Parts I-III</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;">Wesley Dioneo is the only son of Chicagoland real estate tycoon, Martin Dioneo and his society maven wife Allyson. Martin Dioneo caught the COVID-19 virus from his Laplander personal trainer and is on a ventilator in Chicago's Northwestern Medical Center. Allyson is holed up in the couple's massive east Lake Shore Drive apartment building a score of yards from the iconic Drake Hotel.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;">Allyson has sent Wesley Dioneo to the family get-away home at Stop 30 lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, Indiana. Wesley is a senior at St. Ignatius College Prep and had been since the school shut down on March 16, 2020. Ally immediately sent Wesley to Long Beach, where he can be safe.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;">Wesley invites over his pals and trusted companions, the Nardo Bothers and Habib( Declan & Brian) and Habib Samer for a few days of social distancing, Super Smash Brothers and <i>Pater</i> Dioneo's Czech beer cellar. The quartet do what young men do - eat, play and spirit up the atmosphere with verbal assaults upon cant and cowardice. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;">The Martin Dioneo house at Stop 30 Lake Shore Drive in Long Beach sits on the dune above the lake. Long Beach was created as a resort town for weekend getaways salving the bumps and bruises of the affluent from Chicago. There are three Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes in this beach community, where females out number the males. This haven is thick with Irish Catholics from Chicago's once blue collar neighborhoods who have made it in politics, the markets, the courts, or through honest knavery. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;">The Dioneo House*, is modest for a real estate mogul and at $1.5 million dollars offers the connection to the middle class that helps keep Martin Dioneo grounded and centered beyond his fabulous wealth. His father, Bosco, helps with that and steers his son and grandson back to the real people and away from the celebrated lamprey eels who swim only to find new life sustaining backs to do their swimming. Long Beach, indiana boasts a few of such. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;">Hunter Biden resides here and the former Vice President and would-be President has a habit of stumbling upon youthful beach bonfire parties and offering a little of touch of Uncle Joe in the night.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;">Long Beach is a happy community of year round residents and their weekender neighbors. Martin loved getting away to his house above the waters.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;">Now, ventilated and under constant care at Northwestern Medical Center, Martin is in a medically induced coma under constant care and attention. What goes on in that coma is Martin's to know. He was a heavy cigarette and cigar smoker, until this past year and the virus spawned by that bat dinner in Wuhan is no friend of pink gray or black lungs. Mrs. Dioneo, Ally, saw no purpose in wringing hands and hovering near her cell phone and got herself appointed to Governor Pritzker's COVID-19 Task Force where used her entitled voice on all matters medical and political. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;">Ally sent Wesley to Long Beach - away from harm and out of from under her feet. Wesley was cool with that. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;">In this time of the Coronavirus plague many youthful refugees find themselves isolated and lonely. Wesley Dioneo never gets bored.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11.05px;">Wesley plays chess on the computer, writes essays to himself on many subjects and plans his next moves beyond the pampered nests that he is privileged to call his homes. He is accepted at Yale, Princeton and Northwestern for the Fall of 2020. However, Wesley Dioneo has been infected by his grandfather Bosco with a sense of obligation to God, Nation and himself. Bosco lost a number of toes from the retreat from Chosin Reservoir in 1950 and added a level of honor that seems far above of the reach of lesser men and women. Wesley's sense of honor and duty is as terminal, but as yet untested. </span></span><br />

The pines are thick and unchanging and so is this self-Quarantined life.</span></span><br />

They seemed a Northwest Indiana demographic composite. Addison was a second generation Steel Family girl who worked as car hop at Carlson's Drive-in on Coolspring. Paisley's father and mother were partners with Winston & Strawn. Aaliyah Justice and Genesis Mullen were cousins whose grandfather was pastor of the most important AME Church in Michigan located in the Pines along Route 12, Kennedy Lynch's father had been the long-time principal of Notre Dame Grammar School, until a teacher accused him of verbal sexual harassment. The Gary Diocese went along with the specious claim and summarily discharged a wonderful and effective school man, Such are the times and customs of a people who abandon their liberties out of fear. Last among this garland of roses was Amy Briddlestone, whose family owned a horse riding academy near LaPorte on Johnson Road. </span></span><br />

Recap Parts I-II<br />
<br />
Wesley Dioneo is the only son of Chicagoland real estate tycoon, Martin Dioneo and his society maven wife Allyson. Martin Dioneo caught the COVID-19 virus from his Laplander personal trainer and is on a ventilator in Chicago's Northwestern Medical Center. Allyson is holed up in the couple's massive east Lake Shore Drive apartment building a score of yards from the iconic Drake Hotel.<br />
<br />
Allyson has sent Wesley Dioneo to the family get-away home at Stop 30 lake Shore Drive in Long Beach, Indiana. Wesley is a senior at St. Ignatius College Prep and had been since the school shut down on March 16, 2020. Ally immediately sent Wesley to Long Beach, where he can be safe.<br />
<br />
PART III: <i>Wesley Invites fellow COVID -19 Refugees over to Stop 30 after Easter is Cancelled</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Imagine that you are an eighteen year old male, you come from great wealth and privilege, that your father is leaning heavily on Death's Door with a virus that began because some goof wanted to dine on an exotic bat in Red China and that you have been living in isolation at a vacation home on the shores of one of the planet's most beautiful inland seas - a fresh water sea, mind you and that you are a person of great personal charm, intelligence, wit and Ambition - imagine.<br />
<br />
Well, Wesley assessed all of his plus column blessings against the force of State and municipal executive orders, the skewed evidence of the dangers the virus COVID-19 might pose, the maternal apothegm hung around his neck upon stepping aboard the 509 South Shore Line eastbound train from Millenium Park to Carroll Street Michigan City, " Behave and have fun, but no parties." and determined after two weeks of isolation that enough was a feast.<br />
<br />
Wesley said to himself, " The Nardo Bros. are lonesome and Halib keeps texting me. We can social distance right at home." Wesley text messaged his three pals, the Brothers Nardo, day students at La Lumiere and Halib Samer, teh smartest student at Marquette High School. to come over and Supe Smash Brother Ultimate the hours away and quaff some of Dad's Czech beers.<br />
<br />
Declan and Brian Nardo lived in Long Beach year around with their parents and three sisters. Their Dad Sal Nardo was a Machinist with Areclor Mittal in Burns Harbor and their Mom was a grammar school principal in Chesterton. Halib Samer lived in a ranch house near the Botanical Gardens with his mother. Halib's Dad was killed in a car wreck in 2016 and his Mother worked in HR at Franciscan Hospital and grieved mightily.<br />
<br />
Halib was accepted for admission to University of Michigan where he planned to study biology. Halib was a master of the intricacies involved in staying alive in Smash Brothers and ran teh Marquette High School Friday Smash Brothers after classes set-to that attracted scores of would be Smash Brothers winners. Halib took down most comers. He could not beat Amy Briddlestone. Not only the prettiest member of the student body but the most aggressive and deadly Smash Brothers paddle smith.<br />
<br />
Halib was madly in love with Ms. Briddlestone.<br />
<br />
Wesley was plagued with text messages from the fetching young Amy, Marquette HS Class of 2022. Amy made nice with Halib, in order to get close to the yummy and brilliant Wesley. There was no way that Wesley would have anything to do with Amy of a 'relationship' nature, because Halib was a friend. Wesley had developed a code thanks to his Grandpa Bosco. From his earliest memory, Wesley learned the lessons of human obligation from a man who lost toes walking that rigorous walk out of the Frozen Chosin in 1950. Wesley wanted to aspire to be just such a man and no Amy could ever part him from that path.<br />
<br />
Wesley asked his three best friends over and they would eat pizza, subs, ice cream and quaff Czech beers, while trying to destroy one another in Smash Brothers Ultimate.<br />
<br />
Wesley called Northwestern and talked to Dr. Jay Standring, MD - Notre Dame & Loyola Med. His Dad's temperature was still scary high and struggled to breathe on his own. He was off the ventilator. Wesley prayed.<br />
<br />
An hour later called the Nardo Brothers and Halib Samer.<br />

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on violating her Executive Orders.<br />
<br />
Part One: Recap<br />
<br />
Martin Dioneo, a top Chicago real estate Developer, is felled by the Coronavirus and placed on a respiratory ventilator in Northwestern Medical Center in March 2020. His wife, socialite activist Allyson, waits out the virus in their massive East Lake Shore Drive Home and sends the couple's only son Wesley, a senior at St. Ignatius College Prep to the family vaction home in Long Beach, Indiana. There are no schools, businesses, barbershops, saloons, or eateries open and citizens hunker down where they can. Wesley will invite ten friends to his home to tell their stories and drink Martin Dioneo's supply of Imported Czech beers. </div>
Martin Dioneo had one son, Wesley. Wesley was tall and lanky and had a slightly smirky quality about him that disarmed even the most hardened cynic. Wesley had good genes from a his second generation Italian American Dad and his Midwestern Methodist WOKE mother Allyson - the family conscience. Born in Long Grove, Illinois to Chuck Percy Republicans, Malcolm and Libby Coldtiquer. Mal had been a co-pilot on a C-87 that flew Gen. George Marshall anywhere he wanted to go in the continental United States. Libby worked at Bell & Howell in Wheeling, Illinois. Libby worked with the future Illinois Senator Chuck Percy, when he was that camera and lens manufacturer's legal <i>wunderkind.</i><br />
<br />
The Coldtiquers were major players in the Illinois GOP and Planned Parenthood. No family should have more than one kid. "Plan for one and act on the rest," was Libby's mantra. Allyson was Libby's girl and trained the offspring t o speak her mind even when not asked or needed and to be always assertive. Mal was always a co-pilot and let Libby turn Daddy's little girl into a force of nature who would dominate her peers from Campfire Girls to League of Women Voters to Mayor Lori Lightfoot's task force on Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Allyson was a crowd. Her opinions and thoughts were always backed by wealth and privilege. Marrying a titan of Chicago's real estate Olympus helped metastazize those impressive waves utterance. WTTW included Allyson Dioneo to every panel on women, wrongful imprisonment, LGBTQ issues, legal Weed, fashion and philanthropy and <i>don't get her started on the late-Cardinal Francis George</i>. Thank Gaia for Chicago' s new Catholic Ordinary, Allyson could now attend Christmas and Easter services ( well not this year anyway) at Holy Name.<br />
<br />
Allyson Dioneo was what one might call an attractive female, were one not WOKE.<br />
<br />
She attracted a young energetic DePaul University School of Business MBA who bore a striking resemblance to a young Tony Curtis. Allyson set her hooks for Martin Dioneo after their second abortion together. They had three over a period of six years, while lived in Old Town tear-downs and later Lincoln Park brownstones. Martin was bothered by the abortions more because for his traditionalist mother and father, than by the loss of tissue with his DNA. Allyson worked the same doctrinal charms on Martin as she did upon Joel Weiseman and Phil Ponce.<br />
<br />
When Martin could afford a plot of land and air-rights on East Lake Shore Drive, the Dioneo's could add a third member to their living space.<br />
<br />
Wesley Bosco Dioneo was born on October 14, 2002. He was a beautiful baby, an adorable infant/toddler, a fiesty pre-schooler and an able, affable and athletic elementary and high schooler. He was the kid that Moms and Dads wanted their kids to hang-out with, if not become.<br />
<br />
Wesley mattered.<br />
<br />
He was captain of soccer team, a reliable substitute on the basketball teams up until senior year when he called it quits, a witty and skilled forensic debater and a constant A Honor Roll member who was not interested in NHS in the least bit. Wesley could care less about the service requirements. He was a scholar, a leader and his character rejected the notion of do-gooder play acting at soup kitchens and old folks homes.<br />
<br />
Wesley was not a cynical smart-ass.<br />
<br />
He was genuine, direct and honest.<br />
<br />
In fact, he was very much like his Dad and Grandpa Dioneo. Old Bosco Dioneo was a Korean War hero of the Chosin Resorvoir. He lost three toes to froistbite and carried a few ounces of Chinese and Russian metal in his back, legs and fore arms. He refused to accept the Purple Heart, because, in his words, " I was never hit. No Chinaman could shoot me." Bosco had been raised a few doors down from Saint 's Mother Cabrini's Columbus Hospital - it is a hipster real estate development now. What is not?<br />
<br />
Bosco Dioneo was a lumber man and taught his grandson Wesley to respect the beauty, the smell and the sacred nature of wood. He taught Wesley to carve, as well as cut lumber like a man.<br />
<br />
Wesley was tall, lanky and as darkly beautiful as Sandro Botticelli's St. Sebastian. Like a Chicago Medici, the son of Martin Dioneo could afford to commission painting of himself, but that called too much attention away from who was Wesley Dioneo<br />
<br />
His peers and class mates knew Wesley Dioneo and that loved and respected him. He liked girls and respected them, in the old world manner of his grandfather.<br />
<br />
When COVID-19 felled his father and his mother exiled Wesley to a Long Beach self-quarantine, The girls of Saint Ignahtius, Mother McAuley, Marquette Catholic and La Lumiere School called Wesley with sympathy - real and feigned.<br />
<br />
Wesley had three close males friends The Nardo Brothers, who attended La Lumiere School and Halib Samer, the son of Lebanese immigrants who went o Marquette High School in Michigan City.<br />
<br />
Wesley invited seven girls and his three buddies over to tell their own stories and punish Martin Dioneo's supply of Czech beers.<br />
<br />
Wesley was a good kid.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Along the Northwest Indiana shoreline sits a rosary of beach communities hugging the evaporating shores of Lake Michigan, which has burglarized the sandy real estate, as is its wont every thirty years.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">This year was special as the Great Lake flung iits doors open to an air-borne global pestilence - Covid 19. In one of these beads of the affluent rosary sat the get-away home of Martin Dioneo.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Martin Dioneo operated a real estate realm that included most of the prime suburban properties on the Chicago metropolitan necklace - Barrington, Winnetka, Wilmette, Hawthorn Woods, Glencoe and many holdings in Beverly touching on Longwood Drive, Hyde Park along the Midway and Evanston near Sheridan Road. Martin Dioneo rubbed shoulders with the John Bucks and Jim Carlins, but was quite a few pegs below their august places on the urban corporate taxonomy. Martin Dioneo was beyond comfortable, but retained his working class sensibilities honed to the heel of his moral blade, as opposed to the point. He respected a working man, but what do his damnedest to avoid actually putting spade to soil. Martin's father had been a lumber man and very successful one in Bridegport and later Evergreen Park, Illinois. It was lumber that allowed Martin to make his foray into the cut-throat world of urban and suburban real estate development. Martin Dioneo was felled by a bug that originated in Wuhan China, because someone wanted to eat a bat.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Martin was a member of the East Bank Club, until he had his apartment building</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">on East Lake Shore Drive fitted out with the latest and greatest physical fitness equipment and a personal trainer from Lapland in Finland to bully-rag and encourage him through his ever changing regimen of workouts. Gaelbu , Martin's Sami trainer from the great state of Ustjoki, travelled to Paris over the Christmas Holidays and was infected with the Covid 19 bug and brought the affliction home to Martin Dioneo - <i>Et in Arcadia, Ego! </i>Also, in high-priced real estate along Chicago's Lake Front.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">In early March of 2020, Martin Dioneo was in the isolation unit of Northwestern University Hospital.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Martin's wife Allyson sent her son Wesley, a senior at St. Ignatius College Prep to their vacation home at Stop 30 in Long Beach, Indiana, to wait out the plague. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Wesley Dioneo was a very popular young man who had only just been accepted to begin classes at Yale in the fall of 2020. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">While Martin struggled for breath on the ventilator at Northwestern Med Center, and Allyson hunkered down on East Lake Shore Drive, Wesley could be trusted with the keys to the family vacation compound in Indiana. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">What to do?</span><br />

<br />
<br />
I can not stand Rod Blagojevich. He is an remains a smirking jerk. In the 2002 Gubernatorial Primary, Blago campaign workers from the 19th Ward terrorized rival Paul Vallas's family, while he was out scaring up votes. Campaign thugs scared Vallas's kids, but not his tough and lovely wife, Sharon, who had been a cop in the south suburbs.<br />
<br />
Sharon Vallas scared off the tough guys, before calling the 22nd District. I lived down the block from the Vallas family in the 19th Ward.<br />
<br />
Some of my friends worked for Blagojevich, even though they knew Paul Vallas to be a man of rock-solid ability and integrity - he was their neighbor from 2525 West 107th Street, 60655.<br />
<br />
Illinois State Senator Barack H. Obama backed Roland Burris in the primary. Obama would go on to become a US Senator, President of the United States and a Progressive Sun King and Blago his man in the iron mask.<br />
<br />
Blagojevich won the Governor's Primary and Illinois State Senator Barack H. Obama got on the Blago bandwagon. Blago won the Illinois gubernatorial race over GOP Attorney General James Ryan by 52%.<br />
<br />
<br />
The skilled trades unions, like my Blago Backer 19th Ward neighbors, supported the Democrat Milorod Blagojevich. The skilled trades unions would also enthusiastically back current Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Like JB Pr\itzker after him, Blago was a Progressive governor who valued the advice and counsel of Rahm Emanuel and Mikva Mafia of Hyde Park.<br />
<br />
<br />
Governor Blagojevich gave senior citizens free bus rides, said he was blacker than Obama( well his Illinois Health Care programs were a template for ObamaCare) and thought about making Oprah Winfrey a United States Senator, like old Roland Burris. <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/archive/7137285/">A close aid committed suicide</a>, by swallowing rat poison over a garbage dump in Joliet, while he went on Comedy Central.<br />
<br />
Blago's bouncing ball of boorishness reached an apogee when he deigned to sell President-elect Barack H. Obama's senate seat. Tapioca as south siders say, 'All done!'<br />
<br />
His wife was humiliated into going on <i>Survival</i>. His kids were denied a father. Blago was locked away and the keys were thrown away. The smirking jerk went to the joint.<br />
<br />
Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. and his wife did serious time as well<br />
<br />
Blago became the Man in Iron Mask and Barack H. Obama Louis XIV.<br />
<br />
That is ancient history Boo Radley became President in 2016 - Old #45, Donald J. Trump is poised to reclaim The White House. President Trump is the most reviled Chief Executive in our history, no getting past that. Like Blago, most of this detestation by the good and the phony, was brought on by his own words and deeds.<br />
<br />
That said, this spirited man in the Oval Office has struck a chord with 47% of American people who love or accept him as a leader. He is Boo Radley - everyone with a brain hates him. But boo Radley was no villain. A goof, to be sure, but no monster.<br />
<br />
Boo Radley sprung Blago in a most politically and morally cynical effort to stir the <i>merde. </i>No one can whip up a cauldron poop, like Blago and now that Iron Mask is off his mug it is only matter of time before this arch-grifter begins to tell the truth on the protected frauds like Dick Durbin, President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel, Mike Madigan and especially the Wizard of Weed and Admiral of Abortion Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and his kith and kin.<br />
<br />
The Obama legacy and the tax-payer funded temple to his Presidency on public lands willl take the biggest hits.<br />
<br />
Others will do some time in the iron hotel.<br />
<br />
Personally, I think this was an abuse of Presidential pardons, but I would love to see The Sun King get his smirk eclipsed.<br />
<br />
The Man in Iron Mask is out and he will shoot his mouth off.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Any number of friends acquaintances, strangers and passers-bye have told me that I “need to see Martin Scorsese’s <i>The Irishman</i>. <br />
<br />
I need to see this 31/2 hour epic story of a Frank Sheerin, a pathological killer who may have had something to do with disappearing Jimmy Hoffa? I need this entertainment outing , why?<br />
<br />
Plum evades me.<br />
<br />
Can’t get roused to stir up even a modicum of interest to decline the offering to spend whatever the market will bear NETFLIX, or Marty.<br />
<br />
I have never seen <i>Frozen, the 50 Shades of Anything, Taken 1,2,3. & 4 </i>among most films trotted since 1999.<br />
<br />
I have yet to see an episode of<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Will & Grace</li>
<li>The TV Show About Brainiac Nerds</li>
<li>60 minutes since the death of Andy Rooney</li>
<li>States of Union</li>
<li><i>Maud</i></li>
<li><i>Brady Bunch in all of its manifestations</i></li>
<li><i>Presidential Medals of Freedom</i></li>
<li><i>Public Television -since the last episde of I, Claudius</i></li>
<li><i>Bill O’Reilly</i></li>
<li><i>Sean Hannity</i></li>
<li><i>Rachel Maddox</i></li>
<li><i>Chicago Tonight - since Phil Ponce ambushed Hank Lentzen</i></li>
<li><i>Mass for the Shut-ins</i></li>
<li><i>Family Guy</i></li>
<li><i>The Real O’Neals</i></li>
<li><i>Anderson Cooper</i></li>
<li><i>Meet the Press</i></li>
</ul>
<div>
The last good movie that I watched at the Show ( a movie theatre) was <i>A Little Chaos </i>with the immortal Allan Rickman as Louis XIV of France. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am leading rich and full life, even though I have not purchased tickets for <i>Hamilton</i>. I am not that woke. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No, I will shed my mortal husk without seeing <i>The Irishman. </i></div>

Knock yourselves out!</div>

They live at home with their parents and are genuinely unaware of monsters like the Duke of York and the late Mr. Epstein. They will come to know all of manner of natural and unnatural forms of human behavior after high school. Their parents will have grounded them is eternal truths. The Catholic high school they attend reinforces the lessons learned in the home and presented from the pulpit.</span></span><br />

Dickens wrote <i>Bleak House </i>thanks to paper-mills. Ironically, the little ragged Dickens beggars might have been resurrections. </a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The woman I love, but who absolutely hates when I mention her in writing has been nag . . .offering wholesome suggestions about adding Ancient grains to my diet. Her arguments are tighter than the pockets on a fat man’s pants. Healthy eating is way cool and helps fight Dunlap’s Disease*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So , epicure that I am and dedicated to the lads who made <i>Mare Nostrum</i> the pond of the world for more than a thousand years - I plunged into <i>farro </i>in Italian and <i>tritium dicoccum. </i>This hearty grain was boiled by the Etruscans and later served in the Legions of Rome, conquering our cousins the Gauls and other beef eating Celts and then bricking the roads that remain all over civilized Europe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My idea of a healthy side dish is generally a half-pound of spuds drizzled in butter, or rice soaked with Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce. However, I can raise the bar on myself when compelled by the good opinion of a swell dame, or shamed by the vanishing notches on a belt.</span><br />

1 Cup of Farro - I chose <a href="https://www.bobsredmill.com/organic-farro.html">Bob’s Red Mill Farro</a><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">1Ribeye -(0.71 Lbs)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Juice of 1/2 Lemon </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kosher Salt and Black Peper</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Soak 1 cup of Farro overnight -just get the grains wet.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a three quart pot add three cups of ice cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil for thirty minutes - covered the last five. Keep and eye on the grains and stir every once in a while. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a good skillet pan grill the ribeye to medium/medium well</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let cool and slice thinly - the thin liner the better.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I a large glass mixing bowl with a good plastic lid mix the meat Cherry Tomatoes, olives, cilantro and chopped Feta.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Drain any liquid from the grains and add to the mixture. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pour in the Lemon juice and mix like hell. Let cool and snap on plastic cover. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Put the stuff in the ice box and allow it to cool for at least three. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I nailed a couple of bowls of the this and feel that it stacks up nicely against chili, ragout, or slumgullion. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mia Farro - a cold dish served is no revenge. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.6); font-size: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
