A Busy Weekend-- Part 4: Sad Packer Inn, Donovan's, Sunnyside and Margaritaville

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9

Listened to the usual radio shows at home.

We then drove to Silver Lake, Wisconsin, just over the border and met a buddy there.  Liz and I cheer for the Packers if they are not playing Da Bears.  And today, the Packers were on at noon and the Bears at 7:30.  One problem nowadays when you are playing well is that you get switched to late night games.  This originally was supposed to also be a noon game for the Bears.  I hate night football.

We had been to the Packer Inn back in the late 1980s, but hadn't been back since then.  Back then, it was standing room only with lots of cheering, but not anymore.  It was dead.  We were practically the only ones in there watching the game.  Plus, there were no food or drink specials.  We left at half time and drove over to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin and found a crowd of Packer fans and enjoyed the rest of the game.

Then, we drove to Sunnyside Tap in Johnsburg, Illinois, where Friend Steve was having his 80th birthday party.  Watched the Bears game against the Rams at home at our bar, Margaritaville, in the basement.
