On December 27th, Bob Stroud did a Time Warp back to the changing to new decades years of December 27, 1969 and 1979.
December 27, 1969, I was a freshman at Northern Illinois University and home for Christmas Break (yes, that's what we called it back then). I was at my parents' home on Anderson Drive in Palatine, Illinois. I was working the holidays at my old high school job, serving up Whoppers at the Burger King on Northwest Highway in Palatine and getting paid, I think, $1.50 an hour.
Liz and I were still going together but it was becoming strained as she was attending Harper College.
My speech teacher at Northern had let me use his Volkswagen Beetle after I drove him to O'Hare for a flight back home. My brother had gotten the keys and taken it out for a ride and lost control in the snow and broken a front headlight which Dad was nice enough to have fixed. Sure had a hard time getting Bro to admit it.

To maintain your sanity: At lunch, sit in your parked car with sun glasses and point a hair dryer at passing cars and see how many slow down.
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.
