TUESDAY. OCTOBER 12
I had two big things to do today. Originally just one, but yesterday's Sox-Astros ALDS game was rained out and rescheduled for today. I also already had a McHenry County Civil War Round Table meeting at Woodstock Public Library, the first in person one since the virus hit at 7 pm. The Sox game was in the afternoon.
We went to Sunnyside Tavern in Johnsburg to watch the Sox game which was my big mistake. The Sox got off to a 1-0 lead, but then the bats went silent and any mistake the Sox made, the Astros scored. They were especially good at scoring with two outs which happened quite a few times. That is the mark of a good team.
And, out pitching collapsed again as well. The result was a 9-1 loss and elimination from the playoffs. To say the least, I was in no shape to drive the 17 miles to Woodstock for the round table meeting.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13
We went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin and played trivia with Uncle Jeffie. Afterwards, I went to Stucky's in Johnsburg, Illinois, and had their Wednesday special, the German Fest 4-course dinner which included beef goulash, bratwurst balls & sauce, hunter's pork chops and Black Forest cake for $13.50. As usual, Chef Deb put out a great spread.
