Just Hanging Around

FRIDAY OCTOBER 19TH

Wet, overcast day.  Ten at Ten was to 1969 and my pick for favorite was "Proud Mary" by CCR.  I am a huge Creedence fan.  Other songs: What Is and Never Should Be, And When I Die, I Want You Back, Because, These Eyes, Get Ready, Space Oddity, Space Cowboys and Wooden Ships.

Met the Usual Suspects at Stormy Monday and enjoyed Jim Seig performing at Route 12 Bar.


SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20TH

Went over to McHenry for a talk on Civil War weapons by a former FBI agent who headed up the Operation Graylord Sting where several judges were arrested.  The governments secret witness was Terry Hake and we went to Palatine High School with him.

Ate lunch at Culver's and came home and watched Northern Illinois defeat Akron and unfortunately, Purdue and Northwestern both blew leads to lose at the end.

We were surprised by a phone call from Cousin Joe saying he was in Madison and would be stopping by on his way back from Aberdeen, SD, where unfortunately he did not get the city manager job.  We took him over to Captain's Quarters where the Average Joe Band was playing.  You've got to like a band that calls themselves a name like that.  Introduced Joe to the joys of brats, specifically Johnsonville Brats!!

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21ST

Joe and I boated over to McDonald's and around the Chain for awhile before he  left.  We then drove to Twin Lakes, Wisconsin to watch the Packer game (Bears play tonight).  Packers won, but we were saddened to find out that our friend Alfons had died yesterday. 

Came home and raked leaves and burned some and watched some of the shows that I had recorded on the VCR this last week and that great AMC "Walking Dead."

Sure Glad To get Another Chance to see Joe.  --RoadDog
