JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. 1973 HERE IN CHICAGO-- A banner weekend for 1973 music here in Chicago. In a few minutes, Wendy Rice goes back 40 years on her 8-noon (CDST) on WXRT streaming at www.wxrt.com . Then, tomorrow, Sunday, Bob Stroud has his first Summer of 1973 show (there will be four of them) on WDRV from 7 to 10 AM. It also steams at www.wdrv.com .
The year 1973 was a particularly big one for me. First, I did not have to go to Vietnam as I had anticipated as the war ended for the United States. Then, I graduated from college, finishing 16 years of schooling. Then I got a teaching job (and taught for 33 years) and then, I got married (now going on 40 years this August 25th). The last two things took place in a 48-hour period of time.
2. SAW A "MOUTH"-- Robins built a nest on the deck light and we've been watching for little birdie babies. This morning, I clearly saw a "mouth" gaping from the nest. That's pretty much all you see of young birds. We're hoping for more "mouths."
3. END-OF-THE-YEAR PARTY-- Later today, we'll be going over to Kevin and Kelly's place on Fox Lake for their annual end-of-the-year (as in school year) party. Kevin got out of school yesterday. Kelly teaches in another school district and got out last week.
Their party is a great replacement for our annual end-of-the-year one that we had from 1980 to 2006.

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.
