Yesterday, we got the old boat out and did some bar-hopping on the Chain, going to three new bars that we had not yet visited by water this year. This brings us up to 32, with about three left that we know of: Kevan's, Vickie's, and Fox Hole.
Buddy Frank came up and joined us and we cruised in his convertible over to the local Dog 'N Suds in Ingleside for the 99 cent special Charcoburgers, and, of course, the root beer.
Cruised across Fox Lake, Nippersink, Grasslake, and Lake Mary to Bluff Lake, where we stopped at Steitz's and climbed those many, many stairs up to the building. Thought we were going to lose Liz at this point. She doesn't do stairs very well.
STEITZ'S ON BLUFF LAKE
Magnificent view from the place which has been in business with the same family, third generation now, since 1938. They are preparing for their big German festival and fireworks show this Saturday with tents set up outside and oom-pah music already playing.
Someone had just brought in the most remarkable booze bottle we'd ever seen. It contained Greek brandy and had four female statues on the outside of the bottle. A real work of art.

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.
