Well, I didn't expect that to happen.
As you may recall, yesterday I wrote about looking forward to hosting the Marquette Regional History Center's annual trivia contest last night. However, sad to say, that didn't happen. Thanks to not quite having enough teams to make it fun, it was decided to pull the plug on the event a few hours before it began.
Bummer. I mean, I understand why, but a bummer nonetheless.
Don't worry; it's not like I'm (understatement alert) lacking for anything to do for the History Center. Since it looks like it'll be nice out this weekend I'll be doing a pop-up walking tour Saturday on the 154th anniversary of the Great Marquette Fire. Later this month I'm giving a couple of tours of a historic house as a fundraiser. And then on July 6th I'm giving a Jim Koski ™ walking tour around downtown using urban archaeology to talk about railroads and how, everywhere you look, you can still see signs of where they ran.
So I have plenty to do. Don't worry about that.
Oh—and have I mentioned the Loraine and I are heading to Chicago for a long weekend? Because we can't leave the country without the possibility that we might not be allowed back in (seriously—you still have take a Covid test before flying into the US, and if you test positive you can't re-enter for 10 days) we just decided to head down to our second favorite place in the country and fly to Chicago a week from today. We'll be gone for four days eating, playing, and (hopefully) enjoying what the long range forecast says should be temperatures n the 80s.
The best part of it? We don't have to take a Covid test to head back to Marquette.
So yes, it will be a busy rest of the month. But after last night, it became a little less busy.
