Alex is out this month and we have guest co-host Evelyn Eccard. If you’ve listened to Poetic Resurrection, she has been a guest there. She’s my sister, so we had a great time bantering, laughing, and reminiscing about growing up in Chicago. Anyone from Chicago could relate to the antics we experienced. It was Father’s Day when we recorded this episode, so Belated Happy Father’s Day.
Some of the topics/antics we cover are: In our youth – Evelyn in a marching band, Jose/Papo’s sleeping cot (rollaway bed), playing three-outs (like baseball), and enjoying an opened water hydrate (pump) on a hot summer day. Ice skating at Commercial Park.
Teenage years: Navy Pier, Chicago beaches, drinking age, and dancing. Catholic school uniforms, fashion design, and working at Woolworths on Michigan Avenue.
Miscellaneous Chicago stories: Punk days, roller skating and rollerblading College and careers, and pivoting careers.
The bottom line is to start living. Don’t wait to start your dreams and careers.
Much success.
