FRIDAY AUGUST 13TH-- Did some shopping then played NTN at Donovan's in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. One of those days where we just couldn't do well and only had one #19 National Ranking.
We saw both Julio the Donkey and Larry the Llama on the way to Donovan's, something we look forward to seeing when we drive there. We hadn't seen either in about a month so were worried that they had sold them or died.
SATURDAY AUGUST 14TH-- American Legion Picnic, Fox Lake, Illinois. Always a great time, even better this year as I didn't have to deejay it. Free beer and food including brats. I went there first by car, but they weren't ready yet. Went back home and got Liz and then we boated over to the Legion.
SUNDAY AUGUST 5TH--
Bob Stroud was doing his Rock and Roll Roots to Cream because of drummer Ginger Baker's birthday. He played quite a few songs from my favorite Cream album Fresh Cream.
TEN TO TWENTY MINUTES TO GET THE PAPER
I went out to get the paper and as usual stopped to pull up weeds and deadhead the plants. A lady walking by with her dog said you can't do anything in a yard without having to stop and pull weeds. I told he, "My wife always wonders why it takes me ten to twenty minutes to get the paper."
OUT PARTYING ON THE CHAIN
In the afternoon, we met Sue and Paul and Pete and Gayle at Captain's Quarters on Fox Lake and saw an excellent blues-rock band called Windy City Rev Up. All of us liked it but Liz who doesn't like blues, especially when they start jamming.
After two sets, Liz and I drove over to Harbour Club on Bluff Lake and sat out by the tiki bar and saw another band play a set.

DIDJA HEAR? When an actress saw the first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye.
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.
