Also known as The Cornelius Crane Chase Country Club. "Before becoming famous as a writer, actor and comedian, Chase worked in many jobs including as a cab driver, truck driver, motorcycle construction worker, waiter, busboy, fruit picker, produce manager of a supermarket, audio engineer, salesman in a wine store, and a theater usher."...He was also expelled from four private schools (or five depending on who you ask) in his youth. He has made a career since doing what no one else was willing to or knew how...*paths to success* But I'm wondering what in the world he has to do with a country club with his namesake 30 miles northwest from Chicago in Wheeling and why the committee from that particular town would name their snazzy joint after him. "Built in 1927, the classic, Tudor-style clubhouse harkens back to a genteel and elegant era when making guests feel welcome was an art form." 125 acres of "welcoming."...So we have this boy who was unconventional and spent most of his life trying to go against the grain, pushing the envelope on practicality. And we have this conventional clubhouse holding onto old ideals for dear life. Its fitting. More country clubs and aristocratic societies should be named after comedians and misfits. The Steve Martin Coutre Fashion Boutique, The Sam Kinison Haut Monde Golf Club, The Gilda Radner Taste and Tea Cafe Society. Perhaps I underestimate the trickle down effect trickling up. Something refreshing about the idea of someone proving me wrong in a board room of that ilk...Onto the more relevant. The ice was bad last night and I, as always, served as quite the shitty navigator. Charlie took hold of the instructions after awhile as to not lose the piles of dried up snowballs that will surely melt away eventually. There was an experience shared followed by disconnect followed by silence followed by the softest of words that are always needed when walking alongside salt dolls in the most fragile of places. Additionally, there's a theatre usher biting her nails right now hoping there's a therapist out there who understands why she's so bent on running the other way.
