Is your kid spacey, lazy, indifferent, manipulative, a procrastinator? There are other causes of these problems besides the obvious possibility that it’s genetics. But What Can Be Done When Children Barely, or Don’t, Get By? That’s the theme of Dr. Harry Davis’s evening talk at 7 at Josephinum High School, 1501 N. Oakley. It’s a freebie, with refreshments provided. For more information, call 276-1261.
You can do a jig to the sounds of the Chieftains or U2, both Irish bands that play some mean tunes for the masses. The charming DJs at the Artful Dodger Pub will be doing their Wild Irish Bros. thing, spinning Irish discs, at 9 tonight at 1734 W. Wabansia, for the sixth straight year. There’s no cover and (thankfully!) no green beer. Call 227-6859 for more.
