MARCH 16, SATURDAY
This was to be the big day of partying everywhere. I had lots of options, but many I canceled if they involved spending time outside. It was kind of cold and very windy. Plus there would be crowds. The older I get, the less I like any one of those things.
That meant a no go to McHenry to see the Fox River dyed green or the parade. That also ruled out the parade in Lake Villa. Sad, because I surely love parades. I decided instead to go to the Fox Lake/Grant Township Historical Society's meeting and see the Lake County Old Time Radio Players put on an old time radio show. They did "The Shadow." Quite a neat and enjoyable job.
I then went to Lake Villa and found myself in a long detour, but eventually got to the Lake Villa VFW which was having a corned beef and cabbage dinner. I was sad to find they had already given out of it by the time I arrived. Bummer.
However, I did luck into a seat at the very crowded bar and had a beer while enjoying the 50s-60s band, Accents. However, the power went out and I left.
Not Finished With the Day Yet. --RoadDog
