I'm going on a little trip this weekend. I'm going up to a little town in Wisconsin called La Valle, which is at least 3 hours from here. I'm going a bit out of my way first, though. I'm picking up my buddy Barry at the Rosemont stop on the CTA Blue Line and then driving up to Lake Forest to park in the parking lot of our former employer, to meet another friend (Joe, who is also a former coworker) and pick up another former coworker John who still works at where we all used to work together (is that evasive enough?). The four of us are spending the weekend at John's place in LaValle. The other guys have been up there quite a few times before - this is my first trip. It's actually the first time in my life (that I can remember) that I'm "going out with the guys". This is the first time in 18 months that Carol will be alone at home and she's pretty excited about it. She left a nice little note for me, but she still had to be a little "wifey" about it!!! At least she didn't require me to fill out the Application For A Night Out With The Boys. Don't know if I'll blog from up there, but we'll see.
Time for another Friday Five...
1. Did you vote in your last elections? Yep, sure did.
2. Do you know who your elected representatives are? Yes, wel... no. The local State reps I don't really know
3. Have you ever contacted an elected representative? If so, what was it about? No. Nothing ever came up to have me contact them.
4. Have you ever participated in a demonstration? No. Saw one or two, but no.
5. Have you ever volunteered in an election? What was the result? No, I never volunteered.
Boy that was quick. Guess I'm not much of a political activist.
