JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
NORTHWEST SUBURBS-- Yesterday, I went to the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, having a $1.99 hot dog/fries combo at JJ Twiggs in Wauconda, Illinois. Free peanuts as well. Hard deal to beat.
Stopped at Half-Price books in Arlington Heights and bought five CDs and then picked up my new glasses (two pairs for $99) at For Eyes. Visited Amby and Frances' graves at Memory Gardens and then went to Wal Mart. That 10% sales tax in Arlington Heights it ridiculous. No wonder the townships in northwest Cook County are considering seceding, but remember, guys, the Confederate states tried that back in the 1800s, and you know what happened there.
REUNION-- Went over to Bob B's and we drove over to a great pizza place called Barnaby's near Rosemont, where we were joined by Mike R. We all used to teach together for many years at John T. Magee Middle School in Round Lake, Illinois. Mike and I are retired, and so is Bob, but he now is teaching at a Catholic school in Arlington Heights. We did a lot of reminiscing, including the two-month long strike in 1994 and the new Magee that just reopened this past fall.
BARNABY'S-- Barnaby's is a rustic place and at one time there were quite a few Barnaby's around Chicagoland, but only a few are left. Everyone sits at wooden booths and the smell of pizza and sandwiches is fairly heavy. You go up to different counters to get your drinks and food. When the food is ready, they call your number and you go up to get it. Some of the best pizza any where. I hadn't been to one in years, so was glad they suggested it.

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.
