SATURDAY, JANUARY 14
Drove to DeKalb, Illinois, to NIU's Convocation Center where I saw a basketball doubleheader. Our women played the University of Ohio at 1 pm and then the men played the University of Toledo at 3:30. Not bad for a total cost of $6.
The women won by a lot, but the men lost by a lot. Enjoyed Victory Pub overlooking the court with its $2 Busch Light cans. Plus, a giant hot dog for $4.
Decided not to spend the night and drove back to McHenry where I stopped at Happy Jack's on Il-120 with all its Coca-Cola decor and outstanding Chicago-style hot dogs. I had the two hot dog, fries and drink for $9 (with tax). Then went to Sunnyside and home to Margaritaville in my basement.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 15
Went to the McHenry American Legion and then to Saylor Mick's in Spring Grove and enjoyed their $1 Hamm's drafts and had a small BLT pizza. Unfortunately, I mistook a shaker of sugar for a shaker of parmesan cheese and that wasn't very good.
I Highly Recommend Not Putting Sugar on Your Pizza. --RoadDog
