Last Weekend-- Part 1

We didn't do everything I planned, but most.

SATURDAY

We did get to the Cub Scouts pig roast in Fox lake at the Lakefront Park. Hard to beat a heaping bbq pork sandwich with ear of corn, slaw and pork and beans for $5. And, for a good cause.

We drove from there to Dock's in Wauconda, Illinois, where we sat out by the Tiki Bar on a chilly day, but at least some of the sides were closed and they had outdoor heaters which took some of the edge off.

We saw Terry Spizzeri and his nephew on keyboards put on a great four hour show covering all sorts of music from the last 50 years as well as Irish songs. Terry's m,other was Irish, but father Italian, hence the name. We were shocked that he remembered us after the 15 years we didn't see him. Great time, but cold. $3.25 bottles of beer.

I had thought about having a bonfire, but was sufficiently cold enough from Dock's, so didn't. Earlier, I had even considered boating, but, too cold.

I also saw the last part of the NIU-Minnesota game after the Indiana game was over on the Big Ten, er-Eleven, er-Twelve Network. Believe it or not, Northern actually beat a Big Ten, er-Eleven, er-Twelve team, for only the third time in our history!! It was close, but we still won.

Good Times in the Area. --RoadDog
