FRIDAY, JANUARY 29 Went to Popeye's (not the fried chicken chain) in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for their most excellent fish fry overlooking the famous Riviera Docks on Geneva Lake. Great view and plenty of nautical effects as well as some of the best broiled and fried fish, potato pancakes and seasoned fries, cole slaw and hush puppies you're going to get anywhere.
Stopped at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin on the way home.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 30-- The whole weekend I spent a lot of time chopping back the ice/snow from the sides of the driveway as we had temps into the 40s.
Drove to Woodstock, Illinois, for their annual Groundhog Days Festival. This is where the famous movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray was filmed. Listened to Bob Hudgins, movie site manager, for a bit as he led a large group to the many movie sites around the famed Woodstock Square and downtown.
I walked over to Wayne's Lanes, featured in the movie and watched part of te movie. Outside of the bowling alley was where they got into the car before going on the chase where they ended up on the railroad tracks.
Last stop was at the Public House by the old courthouse, where the "Drink to World Peace" scenes were filmed, but it was too crowded so came home.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 31-- Celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX Championship at the Squaw Bar in Ingleside, Illinois, by watching the "Super Bowl Shuffle" and the game. Huge , loud and appreciative crowd cheering the whole way.

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.
