SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13
I went to the Fox Lake American Legion for the USMC Birthday Breakfast and Toys for Tots event. One great tradition is when the birthday cake is cut with a ceremonial sword and the oldest Marine there gives the first piece to the youngest Marine to show the passing of traditions from one generation to the next.
Instead of the usual SOS and scrambled eggs, we had biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs. Talked with a Vietnam vet and we both agreed that the United States should have been fighting that war to win and do it as quickly as possible regardless of what anyone thinks about your methods.
He had one of the best tee shirts I've ever seen which read: "Not as Lean, Not as Mean, But Still a Marine."
Posted to all my blogs (which isn't easy) and watched two of the Harry Potter movies. I am a big Harry Potter fan.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14
Yesterday, Richmond-Burton (R-B) went to Chicago to play one of the better teams in the state, Phillips, for a trip to the Class 4A Semifinals next Saturday and I figured it would be close, and it was. The Richmond-Burton Rockets won 27-26. We never sent kids to R-B, but we sure send a lot of tax money, so I am a big fan.
Next week R-B has to play arguably the best team in the state at ANY LEVEL, Joliet Catholic. I'm not feeling too good about this one.
We went to Sunnyside Tap in Johnsburg and watched the Packers win
