FRIDAY-- August 10th
Boating on a real rough day and got our last passport stamped at Blarney Island (A Mile from Reality). The only way you can get to it is by boat, seaplane and there is a helicopter pad if you need it.
Then to Stormy Monday and the deck overlooking Fox Lake, 92 East on our channel (which does not now have our boat because of shallowness from this drought) and the Legion.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 11TH
The annual picnic at the Legion. Great weather and overlooked Nippersink Lake. Deejay and karaoke and all the great picnic food you wanted. Had to take up a collection for a second barrel.
Then, Tommy's.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 12TH
Parishfest at St. John the Baptist Church in Johnsburg. Always a great time with New Odyssey doing the enetertaining. Rockford's new bishop was there and the priest rode the Harley up to the stage for its raffle.
Liz had worked hard to get a mini reunion of her school's Class of '65 (8th grade graduating class) in Chicago. That would be Our Lady of Grace which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary.
The guitarist of New Odyssey, Michael Feddick graduated with her. Five others were in attendance. Great time and the band got a lot of new followers. We also had quite a few of the Usual Suspects in attendance and I ran into good buddy Phil and wife. Haven't seen him in at least six years. He helped me (well, did the work) on the '67 Firebird convertible back in the 80s.
Good Times in the Area, As Usual. --RoadDog
FUNNY HEADLINE: Blind Woman Gets New Kidney From Dad She Hasn't Seen in Years.
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.
