Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

I'd Celebrate That!!! Feb. 18-19: Iwo Jima Day Today
FEBRUARY 18
CRAB-STUFFED FLOUNDER DAY--** Two of my favorite things together? You kidding me?
NATIONAL DRINK WINE DAY--** Drinkin' wine spo-de-doh. I remember those college days with Ripple and Annie Green Springs. Actually, Liz was given a bottle of Kenny Reid's home-made wine last month and we'll be drinking to his memory. Miss you Kenny.
PRESIDENTS DAY--** I was of the opinion this was to honor Washington and Lincoln, but now learn it is to honor all presidents. Since I just mentioned Millard Fillmore being buried in Buffalo, New York's Forest Lawn Cemetery in my War of 1812 blog, I will honor him.
THUMB APPRECIATION DAY--** Imagine life without 'em. Much more difficult. I came close to losing my right one back in 2008.
FEBRUARY 19
NATIONAL LASH DAY-- Eye lashes that is. What's with the gals with those two-inch-long lashes? Weird if you ask me. But, when they bat their lashes, at least you can get a nice breeze on a hot day.
INTERNATIONAL TUG-OF-WAR DAY--** Few things more fun than this, especially if there is a big ol' mud puddle between the teams, but only if you're on the winning team.
IWO JIMA DAY--** Today marks the beginning of it back 74 years ago. I'll put up my flags.
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MINT DAY--** Candy!! Good!! Frango Mints and Andy's Nibts and those Girl Scout chocolate mint cookies. Order me a box.

From a Hurricane and Eyes to a Frostee and Sunnyside
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14
Hurricane Florence hit Wrightsville Beach, N.C., right by Topsail Beach and Carolina Beach, two of my favorite beaches in the world. Until a year and a half ago, I owned a condo that I inherited from Mom on Topsail Beach, second tow from the ocean. Sure glad I don't own it now.
Follow up eye exam with my eye doctor since I had cataract surgery yesterday. Everything's fine. We then stopped at Wendy's for those great 4 for $4 specials and split a 50 cent Frostee. Love those Frostees!
Went to Sunnyside later in the afternoon. ($5 pitchers on Fridays)

JSS: Senior Moments-- Cataract Surgery
JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. SENIOR MOMENTS-- Well, I had two senior moments the other day. Before I left to go shopping, I couldn't find my flip phone, or as Brother Bob calls it, my idiot phone. Had to call it to find it.
Then, when I got home and then ready to go somewhere else, I couldn't find my keys. Looked everywhere. Took a different vehicle and when I got back home, Liz had found the keys. They were in the ignition.
2. CATARACT SURGERY-- This past Thursday I had outpatient cataract surgery on my right eye. It went well and now the cloud on the right eye has been lifted. But, those eye drops sure burn and I have to take three kinds four times a day.

JSS: I Can See-- Gas Gouge-- A Band and a Hockey Game-- Congrats to NIU Basketball
JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. I CAN SEE-- Thursday I had cataract surgery at Cigna Hospital in McHenry. It is so wonderful to have sight again in my left eye. I could see nothing but faint shadows out of it the last several months.
2. GAS GOUGE-- On Fridays for the last three weekend, our local gas stations have jumped the price of gas up by 20-25 cents and then lowered them about ten cents during the next week before raising them again. Thanks a lot, guys.
3. A BAND AND A HOCKEY GAME-- This weekend, we saw a two-piece band Saturday afternoon at the Legion in Fox Lake, Illinois called the Honeymooners and then yesterday watched the Blackhawks play the Detroit Redwings.
4. CONGRATS TO NIU BASKETBALL-- Friday, the Northern Illinois University men's basketball team closed out their regular season with their 20th win over division rival Ball State. This was the first 20-game winning season since the 1994-1995 season and only the 4th time in our history. Tonight we play in the first round of the MAC tournament.
My Advice to You, get Your Gas on Thursday Before the Gouge. --RoadDog
