JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. CHILI COOKOFF-- Yesterday went to Captain's Quarters in Antioch for their chili cookoff. They had eight entries. No charge to taste or vote. I've developed a method to vote. First, do the whole line at once with just a spoonful of each to narrow it down. Then a larger portion of the ones I like right after that. Rinse down with beer. Sit and contemplate, then go back for last taste of two favorites. Vote. Then get a "Garbage Chili" made up of some of several entries in a large bowl, complete with shredded cheese, onions and corn bread.
This was my fourth one in four weeks: Squaw Bar, All-Sports, Stormy Monday and Captain's.
2. SUMMER MUSIC AT CAPTAIN'S-- Our favorite summer stomping ground, Captain's Quarters, has their list of summer bands out. Many old familiar ones that we like along with new ones. But, whoever picks them knows their music as we've only rarely seen a band we didn't like. Favorite band, Soda, will be there four times.
Best Part of Captain's Music is the 7 to 11 PM Saturday night bands and 3-7 PM Sunday afternoon ones. Just right for old folk such as we.
3. MORE SNOW-- Another snowfall predicted for us, 4 to 8 inches. Gettin' mighty tired of the stuff This should be about the last, according to Woodstock Willie's prognostication back on February 2nd. Again, it looks like the counties along the Illinois-Wisconsin border are in for the worst, which seems to be the way things go with these storms lately.
4. TEN AT TEN-- Bob Stroud's Ten at Ten (10 AM and 10 PM) on Chicago's Drive, 97.1 FM this week: Mon- 1972, Tues-1977, Wed- 1969, Thurs- 1985 and Fri- 1978. www.wdrv.com .

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.
