No, not our wedding anniversary, but the one where we started "going Steady" back in high school when I gave her my ID bracelet (we were juniors at Palatine High School in Palatine, Illinois, and didn't get our class rings until the end of junior year).
We had met back in October at a party. Her parents were moving to Palatine from Chicago, where she had attended Madonna High School. They were living in a rental home until their new one could be constructed in Winston Park.
I gave her the ID bracelet while she was doing her family's laundry at a laundromat at Palatine Plaza.
The place is no longer there, but we have an idea where it was a few store fronts east of what used to be Pankau Drugs. We'll be looking for it.
We will be going back to the scene of the crime...oops, great event, today.

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.
