Something for the weekend: Holiday Road. I am on vacation with my family until August 8. My internet connection in the coming week will range from intermittent to non-existent. That is now by choice. In the past it was not, but now with ubiquitous wi-fi, portable ipads and kindles, that is no longer the case, and, truth to tell, it hasn’t been for the last several years. I will have posts for each day I am away on the blog, but if something momentous occurs, for example: Elvis is discovered working at a Big Boy’s in Tulsa, the Pope issues a Bull against blogging as a complete waste of time, or Biden is taken out of the White House in a straight jacket, I trust that this post will explain why I am not discussing it.
First, up to Kenosha, Wisconsin with a visit to my Bride’s mother. We have been doing this since the birth of the twins and it has always been a fun family gathering. I heartily recommend both the Kenosha Civil War Museum and the Milwaukee Zoo Then it is back home next Monday for an overnight pit stop and to board our dog Cali until next Saturday. I will interrupt my vacation with a real estate closing on Friday. The vacations of a week in duration that I have without being interrupted by some legal business are becoming rare as the years pass.
Gen Con is requiring masks this year and has an absurd preferred pronouns section on the badges As this is the case my family is passing on it.
My bride and I have only been attending since 1986, my bride missing 1991 when she was heavily pregnant with our twins. (I made a 300 mile one day dash to the Convention that year through continual thunder storms by myself, one of the more foolish actions of my life.) Sad to miss it this year, but a masked convention would not be enjoyable for us, along with the PC tripe.
We are still going to Indianapolis to do some sight seeing however. We have grown fond of the town since Gen Con moved here in 2003 and we enjoy going to the book stores and the game shops.
A good week albeit somewhat tiring, but I can rest in the law mines after I get back! See you all on August 8.
While in our fair city, unless you’re already pre-programmed while driving, tune your radio to 89.1 or 90.9, depending on which comes in stronger. Catholic Radio Indy is a small non-profit station doing our bestest to put Christ into folks’ cars and homes. The noon and 4PM hours are locally-produced, with most of the rest coming from EWTN. We are trying to diversify and add Ave Maria, Relevant Radio, Spirit Radio as well as more local stuff but it’s a slog.
Anyway, if you have a moment, tune us in.
Have fun, be safe.
