Good Times in the Area: Last Week August 16th-19th

MONDAY, AUGUST 16TH

A real fine way to kick off my fifth year of retirement. The other poor Round Lake teachers had to go back to school today, although no students. Observed it by going back to sleep, going boating later and playing NTN at Hello Folks.


TUESDAY, AUGUST 17TH

Yardwork and Al's 59th birthday party at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. I ate one of Sal's Gutbuster Burritos. No fooling there.

Came home and watched Star Wars V and Star Wars VI which I had recorded on the VCR. "May the _____ Be With You." "Luke, I Am Your _____."

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18TH

Buddy Frank came over and we boated over to Castaways for their great jumbo 35 cent wings and then went to the newly reopened Aquarium where we were too sober to try to swallow any minnows.

Later drove over to Tommy's for the buck bottles and met Langer and Kenny.


THURSDAY, AUGUST 19TH

I did some shopping for plants and CDs in McHenry.

We went to Antioch and had 25 cent wings at the Sequoit Lodge and then went to the village's It's Thursday celebration by the band shell and saw the Blooze Brothers do their Blues Brothers Show, complete with the old police car with huge speaker attached to it. If you ever get a chance to see these guys, do so.
