Now This Is Fun-- End-of-the Year Party and Sox Nirvana

This past week, we went to two parties.


END-OF-THE-YEAR PARTY

Today, we went to Kevin and Kelly's End-of-the-Year party for their two schools. This is a follow-up to our End-of-the-year parties, which, of course, ended three years ago. You can't have and end-of=the-year party when you didn't start the year.

Kevin and Kelly have a house on Fox Lake, so, it's a Chain of Lakes party. Jules brought the shots, Kevin had the food and a keg of beer. Great weather and good times for all.

Hard to believe I've now been retired for three years. Magee and Round Lake Middle School both got out this past Tuesday. They normally have a last-day party somewhere, usually Docker's on Pistakee Lake. I wasn't invited so now must be out of the loop. Oh well, just one more thing not to like about being "retarred."

SOX NIRVANA

Sunday, we went to Jimbo and Sandy's thirtieth wedding anniversary party at their home in Round Lake Beach. They are good friends and always came to our annual end-of-the-year parties and last-day-before-Christmas-break parties.

They have bturned their basement into what can only be descibed as White Sox Nirvana. There was Sox stuff all over the place: pictures, pennants, plaques, bobble heads, clocks, lamps, and pretty much anything Sox you can name.I spent 45 minutes looking at the stuff and salivating.

I have to bring Coz and Cruz over to see this shrine to our team. Jimbo has two favorite teams: da Sox and whoever is playing Da Cubs.

Sure Enjoyed These Parties. --RoadDog
