I sure was able to do things I like to do all day yesterday, and DID it in shorts and tee shirt because of 60 degree weather!!! Something you don't have around here this time of the year.
In the morning I was on the internet researching and posting to the blogs.
At 10:15, I drove to the Mobil station on Rollins Road in Ingleside for one of those great pumpkin spice coffees (lattes?). That is a great drink for this time of the year, but unfortunately for a limited time.
Then, I went to the Fox Lake Veterans Day ceremony at the train station. I have been out to these and froze, but, like I said, not today. It is sponsored by my American Legion Post 703 and the Fox Lake VFW.
I thanked a World War II veteran and, even though he was a Yankee, talked with a Civil War re-enactor from Lake Villa. He plays the role of an officer in the US Signal Corps.
We had speeches, the laying of a wreath, taps and a three volley gun salute. Good crowd in attendance and I especially liked to see all the kids.
Then, I went to McDonald's for one of those GREAT! McRib meals.

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.
