JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. VA HOSPITAL CHRISTMAS DINNER-- Today, I spent several hours helping out at American Legion Post 703s annual Christmas dinner for the patients and staff at the North Chicago VA Hospital, just a way to say thanks. There we around 60 attended and they got turkey with all the trimmings, desserts. ice cream, cookies and lots of pop. Quite a few got up and sang karaoke. I believe they really enjoyed themselves.
2. MAKING MASHED TATERS-- John was looking for a volunteer to make mashed potatoes for the veterans and I volunteered. I am definitely not known for cooking anything in anyway. But, hey, it was for the veterans.
I ended up making three big pans of the stuff and learned not to raise the blender up while it was still spinning.
3. STAYED HOME ALL DAY-- Yesterday, we ended up staying home all day as the snow was really drifting badly. I had had a real lot of fun driving home the short distance from the theatre in Fox Lake the day before.
We did get the train set up under the Christmas tree (not much fun) and the Christmas village as well.
4. MORE NASTY SNOW-- Before going to the Legion, I cleared the snow drifts off the driveway. I had figured it would be fairly fast since it was light snow. Well, it wasn't so light and it took nearly an hour. AND, NOT ONE SNOWMOBILER VOLUNTEERED TO HELP.
5. NTN-BUZZTIME AT DONOVAN'S-- After the Legion, we went over to Donovan's in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, and got some Christmas cheer and played NTN-Buzztime. We had a pretty good run with seven top twenties. $1.50 a pint, pretty good deal 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.
