FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30
Went to Sunnyside Tavern in the afternoon and met Kevin and Kelly at Johnny's Diner in Fox Lake for dinner before going to the Fox Lake American Legion for 50-50.

Met Pam at the Windhill Pancake Parlor in McHenry, Illinois, and enjoyed the Christmas decorations. They go overboard. Later met Kevin and Kelly at the Fox Lake American Legion for the afternoon New Year's Eve Party with toasting at 4:30 pm. That's my idea of "celebrating" the new year as it is hard to stay up past 11 pm for me anymore. Enjoyed DJ Goldy, a real dj, not one of the new ones who do not interact with the crowd.
Watched the college playoffs at the Legion and at home in Margaritaville and was happy Texas Christian beat Michigan and especially happy about Georgia getting lucky and beating Ohio State. (I went to UGA for a year, plus a whole lot of family went there.)
I actually managed to stay up to midnight. Happy New Year!!
SUNDAY, JANUARY 1, 2023
I drove over to Squaw Bar in Ingleside to see the Bears play their game. We used to get together with the "Usual Suspects" to watch the games here. But, I hadn't been back there for years. It was like old times, a fun place to watch the game with lots of fans. Unfortunately, it was the 9th straight loss.
Then went over to Saylor Mick's, a new place in Spring Grove and had their $1 taco special and enjoyed the $1 pints of Hamm's. This place used to be Tommy's and had huge crowds, especially during the Blackhawk games back 2010-2015.
