I had been planning on driving out to Rockford, Illinois, today for World War II Days at Midway Village, but this weather is just too threatening. Not much fun being outside in the rain and with a high of 58 degrees predicted, especially after driving the distance to get there.
Instead, I will be going to the Grant High School (Fox Lake, Il.) Homecoming festivities, starting with a parade at 9, sophomore game at 10:30, and varsity at 1.
Of course, it's outside, but much closer should the rains come.
Normally I would be pulling for the Bulldogs, who have the same school mascot as the University of Georgia. However, they are playing Round Lake, where we lived for 17 years and taught for 33.
Round Lake is not noted for strong football programs any more, one reason they play so many homecomings.
Afterwards, Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake is having their End-of-the-Season (boating) party with band and food so will probably go to that.

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.
