Hey, they finally let me on the official blogspot as an "author". And I'm delighted to once again have the computer in my lap. Ellie took me down to Joliet mid-day on the 16th but we are planning a departure tomorrow AM to get underway again. We really do a lot of walking when we're confined to the port and at the dock (here it's a wall).
We ran into the Blues Bros yesterday and couldn't miss the photo opportunity. Joliet is a quiet little city known for its prison and has a lot of new buildings to support city and county (Will Co) functions. Vince Gill is in town tonight, but neither Brad nor Jay have heard of him and I don't think that it's worth $65 for a ticket.
With the many boats tied up along with us on the wall, we truly have an international community - the UK is represented along with a French family, German and some Michiganders all who will be pushing toward the first lock with us, probably tomorrow AM, my 66th B'day.

Hey........nice to see the sunshine and those smiling faces........what a weather week.
We're weathering a national financial storm, so I recommend you guys not check the Internet too often.....just leave it to us, along with the government we'll take care of it!

I look forward to each new blog posting from Northern Light. And I enjoy researching things mentioned in the postings. It's sure fun "traveling" with you.
