Colder Outside, But Good Times Inside-- Two Bands, Chili Cook-off and the Marines

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2

This was movie day.  I saw "American Made" starring Tom Cruise as a man who got involved in the Central American drug, guns and Contra business back in the late 70s early 80s.  I then saw "Geostorm" about our space station and satellites controlling the weather going wrong.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3

We went to the American Legion and met friends for the 50-50.  As usual,we didn't win.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4

In the morning I went to the USMC 242nd birthday breakfast and Toys for Tots at the Fox Lake American Legion.  Always good to get together with kindred spirits and support the Corps.  Lots of "Ooh-Rahing."

In the afternoon, Liz and I met Kora and others at the Legion and enjoyed the 50s-70s music of the 3 Aces band from 3 to 6.  We then went over to Sunnyside for a couple, two, three.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5

We went to the Squaw Bar at 3 and had a chili cookoff, listened to the Little Joe band play and enjoyed the $6 pitchers.  Later went to Sunnyside again.
