Alright, hold tight--I'm a highway star...

Time to put the ol' blog in suspended animation for a while as I hit the road for a few days. I'm hitting the highway first thing in the morning in my rented Ford Focus en route to that Toddlin' Town, Chicago, where I plan to hang with Joliet Jake and Elwood and maybe visit the Bundys.  Among other activities, I'll be watching the Blackhawks beat those evil Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night, and dining at the famed Billy Goat ("Cheeseborger! Cheeseborger! Cheeseborger!") downtown.  If the money holds out nicely, I might just drop by the Cunninghams in Milwaukee and have a few beers, too.  See y'all next week...
