B&C: Bob & CALi
Together in Evanston
Summer of 2017
16,436 Days: July 4, 1974 to July 4, 2019
So much for reminiscing as BOB & I sit out the Fireworks
trying to keep our beautiful CALiCO CAT, CALi as calm and comfortable as possible. She’s
frightened by Thunder, Lightning and Loud Noises. You cannot get any louder than these Sonic
Booms. Imagine what the Poor Pets go through living in Times of War, Bombings and Civil Strife.
45 Years ago Today...
On July 4, 1974, I moved into my First Apartment. I had gone from Small Town America to Big
City Living. It was a cool Move, Date
& Time-wise as it was marked my Securing of my 1st Apartment as an
Adult on Independence Day. $155 a month on the prestigious Sheridan Road across the Street from Lake Michigan.
Today, you cannot find a cheap Hotel for $155 a night let alone any longer stay. This was $5 a Day, for those who were so wondering.
In other Words, Adrienne Sue (before I changed and classed up my Name to: SIOUX in 1984) got her Independence
on Independence Day, our Nation’s Birthday.
It was the 198TH if I am doing the Math correctly. If not, what’s a few years once you get over
the Centennial Mark.
It was a Thursday as I recall as it is Today. My Mother
drove in to help on that Move as I was the oldest & the Best Child,
of course. She was 45 years old (1/2 of her age now). I was 22 and had just
graduated from Washington University in St. Louis & landed a great creative Job in
Advertising in the John Hancock Building, considered a 'Big Deal' for a Gal from
a small farming community in down state Illinois.
Today, Mom is 90 and I’m 66.
That Slot of Time just blew on by. In another 45 years, I’m suspecting Things
will be different. Vastly so. Who would have guessed or known...
