This past Monday, Liz had an eye doctor appointment in McHenry, Illinois. While waiting for her, I went to some various stores and bought four VHS (that's right, VHS) tapes at the Salvation Army Thrift Store and did some banking.
Then we drove to Broken Oar on Fox River and had lunch, then we went to Kief's Reef, also on the Fox River, for an appetizer. We used our Chain Crawl coupons and also got our passport stamped at both places. Hey, 40 bars in one summer by boat, just the challenge. However, we also drive the car to some of them.
Back to McHenry. Liz dropped me off at the Vinyl Frontier on Water Street while she went to Vickie's Place and the Snuggery, both on the Fox River, to get two more passport stamps. I bought three CDs and the first album by the Chicago 60s band Cryan' Shames, Sugar & Spice, featuring that song.
A stop at Sports for l
Less, located by Vickie's, the kind of a place I should always avoid as way too much temptation with all that sports stuff. I ended up buying two wind-up walking Bear figures and a hockey puck with the 2013 Stanlet Cup (of course, won by the Chicago Blackhawks) on it.
Then to Oak Park Lounge and Hotel, one of the original Chain of Lakes resorts dating back to the 1890s and were entertained by Bomber, the very spoiled and pampered black lab.

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.
