A LOST EVENING

Yesterday I had a lost evening (in more ways than one) I saw an ad on t.v. for an event at the "Quad Cities Expo Center". I decided to go up there. I had no idea where in the Quad City area it was so I stopped and got directions at 1st a service station, in Davenport, 2nd at a station in Moline. 3rd at Toys R Us in Moline and finally from a couple ladies in a church parking lot. I finally found it! I was beginning to think NO ONE in the Quad Cities knew for sure where it was. When I finally found it, I found I had totally wasted my time going. I did enjoy ride up there and however fustrating getting run all over Moline and Rock Island was I did see a lot of stuff i'd heard of on t.v. and had never seen. (businesses, etc) and was sent down a rather neat cul-de-sac. I was on some streets finding my way back out to I 280 (I knew if I kept going south I would eventually HAVE to come across it and could find my way out) It turned out to be a rather interesting (and amusing) evening. I don't remember being 'lost' since Linda was admitted to Genesis Hospital in Jan 2006 and I got disoriented leaving. That wasn't nearly as amusing as this time was!

An Update

There hasn't been a whole lot to blog about lately - till this week. I went to Chicago wednesday. Cindi had invited me to come there and attend "DCA Theater" with them. They were re-creating 2 radio theater shows. The first was "SUSPENSE On A Country Road" that was originally broadcast November 16, 1950. The second was "Baby Snooks" program that was first broadcast November 1, 1946. It was a really enjoyable evening, It did make me realize how OLD I am! I can remember when we used to listen to Radio theater every evening. I don't remember 'Baby Snooks' but I do remember 'suspense' 'the lone ranger' 'gunsmoke' and 'johney dollar' I wonder how many people even remember radio theater!
We then went to "Carson's" for Dinner (You can't beat Carsons for bar-be-que). I spent the night and Thursday at the Kurczewski's and returned home thursday night getting home at 1:43 A.M. friday morning. I'm working now to get back on a normal sleeping schedule.
WHAT A FLOOD OF MEMORYS of "the good old days" that in retrospect weren't good at all!
