It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new note on our site. With the arrival of summer, I’ve been doing the things Terry and I had planned to do together this summer. After seeing Iron Man, I started to hit Terry on the cellular as I left the theater. It will certainly be the same after I see the new Bat Man movie, and this Christmas when the Bob Teitel, George Tillman flick “Humboldt Park” starring Freddie Rodriguez comes out. FYI-Look for Dave Dastmalchian, the “Jimmy Crack Corn” dude from the Cingular Commercials as one of the Joker’s henchmen.

Last year, Terry and I interviewed Dario Franchitti, Bobby Allison, and Jeff Gordon. We closed out the summer by going to the IRL race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet. As much as Terry liked racing and cars, to my surprise, he had never been out to race tracks in Joliet. We had a great time, and made plans to spend a lot of time in Joliet this summer. Even with the two hour rain delay, I know Terry would have enjoyed this year’s NHRA Powerade Event.

In case you missed Rick Kogan’s piece in the Tribune Magazine about LaNell (Terry’s widow) coping with his passing, a memorial service for Terry is in the works. Plans are to have it at US Cellular Field, on 22 September 2008, Terry’s 47th birthday.
