Who says you can't have fun in the middle of a crummy winter. This past February goes down as the coldest in Chicago history since the 1870s (and that includes that horrendous last year).
Two of my favorite things to do this time of the year are to go to local business expos and chili cookoffs.
SATURDAY, FEB. 28TH: I went to the Richmond-Spring Grove (Illinois) Business Expo around noon. Then we went over to Hickory Lodge in McCullom Lake and enjoyed the chili cookoff and a band playing all sorts of 60s music. Stopped at Tommy's on the way home to say goodbye to friend Kenny.
SUNDAY, MARCH 1ST: At 11, we went to the Lodge of Antioch for their breakfast and also they had an acoustic performer playing music. Where you going to get breakfast and entertainment before noon? Then drove to Wisconsin ans stopped at Kelly's, had Bloody Marys at Main Street in Twin Lakes and watched the Atlanta NASCAR race in Atlanta.
MONDAY, MARCH 2ND: We drove to Waukegan, Illinois, and met Kevin and Kelly at Booner's. They have just gotten NTN and we showed them how to play it and did very well with three Top Twenty finishes. We stopped at White Castle on the way home (for those Sliders, you know) and then stopped at the Legion.

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.
