FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26
Web went to a new place that just opened Tuesday in Johnsburg called Granny's Diner. The owner had come in to Sunnyside and we had a nice talk a couple weeks ago.
This is where the old Epic Deli was until it moved to a bigger place on Route 31 in McHenry. We didn't expect a lot of people there, since it was new, but they had a crowd even when we got there just before they closed at 2 pm.
We both ordered lunch meals and there were huge and very good. I think this place will do well.
During the course of the day, I watched a lot of the Illinois High School playoffs in Margaritaville (in our basement). Wilmington, on Route 66, won in Class 2A, Byron (out by DeKalb, won in 3A and, no big surprise, but Joliet Catholic walked all over Springfield's Sacred Heart-Griffin to win a 4A. Joliet Catholic beat our local high school, Richmond-Burton, last week.
Enjoyed cocktail at the bar and the Ultimate Juke Box.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27
I had planned on going to Crystal Lake for the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group and then to Algonquin for Half Price Books and White Castle, but kind of felt like I had a cold coming on, so decided to stay in.
Today was the Class 5A to Class 6A high school playoffs. In Class 6A, East St. Louis High School was heavily favored to beat Cary-Grove, in nearby Cary, Illinois, but this has to go down as one of the biggest David vs. Goliath games in the history of high school football as Cary Grove won 37-36n in frigid DeKalb at Huskie Stadium where the championship games were played.
Watched two great movies: "Christmas Vacation" and "Joker."
