A Very Football Weekend

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND

The Drive started their semiannual "A to Z."  Over a week and 2000+ songs from their massive record library.  A great way to pass some listening time, so not much Beach Music for me until next week.

Some yardwork and lengthy burning of twigs, branches and logs in the fire pit.  Then, Terry and Greg Spizzirri performing at the Route 12 Bar.


SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD

Drove to Dekalb and met up with Kevin (who graduated Palatine High School with us), his wife and Jerry's wife (hard to believe old Jer' died nine years ago).  Tailgated with the Sliders from WC.

Saw the NIU win over UMass 63-0, which now makes us 9-1.  It got really, really cold and we hit the bricks at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Had celebratory drinks at Sully's on Lincoln Highway.  Drove home and went to Antonio's where we found out that our local high school, Richmond-Burton,  had lost in overtime and was unfortunately out of the IHSA playoffs.

Listened to "A to Z" both going to and returning from Dekalb.


SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH

This morning, "A to Z" took a break and Bob Stroud played three hours of the music we were listening to before the 1972 presidential election.  Do you remember between whom?  A great trip back.

At noon, we went to the Squaw Bar and got together with the Usual Suspects for Da Bears.  It was another blowout of Tennessee, something like 51-20 and are now 7-1. 

Stopped at the Route 12 Bar on the way home.

All In All, A Pretty Good Weekend.  --RoadDog
