Saturday, December 5

5:35 p.m. - I went for a long walk at Blackhawk State Park today, and it was a nice get-a-way.  I also had a chance to visit with my mom and dad, and the grandchildren and all step-children were here.  Notre Dame won again, and Tucker is spending the night.  I didn't get any schoolwork done, so that will have to be tomorrow.  On my drive to the park today, I noticed that a restaurant in Andalusia appeared to be crowded with indoor customers, but I thought the governor was limiting restaurants to pick-up and curbside only.  I fear the restaurant and all the customers are just ignoring the order.  I just don't understand.
