January 19th-- Drove in a light snow to Galena and were happy to find the Log Cabin Restaurant on Main Street open, so had dinner there. We ate here during our honeymoon back in 1973 and have returned many times since then. "Where Steak is King" is their motto and, no kidding on that point. We both had the $22.95 24 ounce T-Bones, along with their great home-made hash-browns, salad (with great Greek house dressing) and relish tray. The Log Cabin has been there since 1937 and present family in their second generation running the place since 1975.
Checked into the Swiss Inn on US-20 in East Dubuque. This is a great old mom-pop place with 12 units and a bar. We always have a great time in the bar with a Cheers-type clientele. Major topics tonight were NFL teams never winning the Super Bowl, Pro teams not ending with the letter S, and college teams not ending in S or having a color in their name. Kept us going for a long time.
One guy comes to Dubuque once a month or more for business and always stays there because of the friendly people. We are getting to know some of the people although we usually only go there once or twice a year. Plus,, its a big room with two double beds for $54 including tax. Not bad these days.
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.
