FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH-- The weather sure didn't cooperate as the storms that began Thursday afternoon and continued all night. They threatened all day today as well, but nothing materialized. No boating, so decided it was a good time to go to Liz's parents graves at Memory Gardens in Arlington Heights to change the flowers and U.S. flag. Ambrose was an Army major in World War II.
Afterwards went to Half-Price Books and White Castle in Palatine, Illinois (two of my favorite places). I was planning to go to the Richmond-Burton football game, but it started raining just before I left. Just as well as the game was postponed until Saturday. Ended up with the Usual Suspects at the Legion.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH-- Went to a friend's 65th birthday party and watched the amazing NIU Huskies nearly beat #1 Ohio State before losing 20-13. Not bad for a little old school out in the corn fields, especially one that was a 35-point underdog.
Mitch Edwards played music for the party and we caught birthday boy Kenny by surprise.
Then went to the Grove in Spring Grove and saw a guy sing and play a lot of great classic rock outside in the biergarden.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH-- Went to the Squaw Bar in Ingleside and sat outside in their annex and watched the horrible Bears game against the Cardinals. Then went to Sunnyside Tavern in Johnsburg and enjoyed the happy hour, but not the Cubs loss. The Sox lost as well, so Chicago was a three-time loser today.
Football and Bands. Not Bad. --RoadDog
