Took I-72 west from Decatur to Springfield and played NTN at the capital City bar and grill on the southeast side. I have a regular NTN-Buzztime Name on the board, Sixtcx (for the road as I wasn't allowed to use Sixtsx, something about sex).
I was sorry that I had just missed buddy JJ, but had a great talk with a new player named Wes who is at the UI-Springfield library. JJ is security at the Abraham Lincoln Library.
I had that great all-you-can eat walleye special for $5.99. Now, that is good eating.
Drove over to the Travelodge and got a room. This motel is on an alignment of Route 66. I then drove the short distance to the Curve In, so-named for the curve Route 66 made leaving Springfield back when the place opened in the 1930s. This is a REAL Route 66 Roadhouse. Always a good time and food there. They'd already started their Friday outside parties with live entertainment. Bud products were $2 today.
Then went back to the Travelodge for a nightcap or two at the in-house bar, the South Side Pub. Had a great talk with a truck driver who stays there two nights a week and really enjoys the pool during the summer. Another guy was staying there and in town for his daughter's wedding. Very eclectic juke box and especially enjoyed the late-great Dan Seals' song, Bob," one of the great songs ever made.
Good Times Friday NTNing and 66in'. --RoadDog
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.
