Sunday, January 1st.
We went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes for the Bears game, but it was so sad watching them, we left at half time and went to Sunnyside Tavern in Johnsburg and saw the rest of it. It didn't get any better with a 38-10 loss. Bears ended up 3-13, one of the worst years ever.
We came home after that to drown our Bear Sorrows.
Monday, January 2
Strange having the Rose Bowl Parade and big bowl games on January 2nd instead of the 1st.
Watched the parade, then went to Sunnyside and watched Da Hawks play the NHL Winter Classic outside in St. Louis at Busch Stadium. Sadly, the Blackhawks lost 4-1.
Also watched the Wisconsin-Western Michigan game at the Cotton Bowl. Western Michigan gave them a good game, but lost. Also sad for us MAC fans, I'm sure the Western Michigan coach, former NIU player P.J. Fleck, coached his last game for them. He'll be out of there for sure.
Watched the Rose Bowl there for awhile and then at home in Margaritaville. One of the best games I've ever seen, even if my team, Penn State, lost on a field goal in the final second. Lots of action with a final 52-49 score.

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.
