JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. PALATINE HIGH SCHOOL-- Great to see my old alma mater, the Pirates, doing well in football again. It's been a lot of down years since the halcyon days in the nineties. Even beat those arch rival Fremd Vikings this year and will be playing them again in the first round of the IHSA playoffs. Go PIRATES!!
2. COLD'S HERE-- And how, this past weekend we cancelled a trip to Dekalb and Sycamore because of shaky weather. Then last night and the night before, winter came, briefly. Very cold and windy. Yesterday, we had snow flurries for most of the afternoon. I cleared out the west garage bay so I could put the '85 Firebird inside.
3. INJUN' SUMMER-- However, the rest of this week the temps will be warming up. Maybe we'll have that great Injun' Summer that I so love after all. Sure miss the old Injun' Summer picture and words that used to appear in the Tribune every fall. A few Halloween's ago, some neighbors on Elm Street recreated the whole scene in their front yard. I WAS IMPRESSED.
You can view the pictures and words at http://www.tkinter.smig.net/Chicago/InjunSummer/index.htm.
4. DA FRIDGE-- Sorry to see that one of my favorite Bears from that Super Bowl XX team, William Perry, aka Da Fridge is recovering from five months in the hospital with Gulliam-Barre Syndrome which causes progressive weakness. He currently is in a wheel chair.
This is one likable guy. I'll never forget that TD against the Packers on Monday Night Football October 21, 1985.
Get better soon, Fridge.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
