We're going to do some old traditional folk songs. We haven't completely set up a list. We'll play some music from modern Celtic rock bands like the Seven Nations. We'll play a couple of more contemporary Irish tunes that I wouldn't call rock; they're more contemporary ballads. We haven't set it all out yet, but they run the gamut.

We're getting a collection of Irish and Scottish music going, which is fun and it really gets people stomping their feet. They're not so much singing along, unless they know the words and then they get started.

Historically, a La Nina that forms in spring has a tendency for most of Illinois to be dry.

I think their response has been very measured.

It's one of those things that's not 100 percent of one or the other.

Everyone's first concern is always the grass or their crops, but trees can suffer too.

Steve told us about the LCCC gig and wondered if we'd be interested, and we jumped at it.

If I had a thousand major shareholders that I know would be selling stock because of portfolio diversification, I would rather do a secondary offering than have them sell in dribs and drabs. It makes a lot of sense to do it in one fell swoop.

The first three weeks were bitterly cold, but the last week was pretty darn warm.
