Grunge Report To Be "Off The Air"
The Grunge Report will be off the air next week. The Grunge will be hiking down into the Grand Canyon and, hopefully, back out again. So, to you faithful 9 readers (yes, we are up 2!), look for something after Thanksgiving week.
I am making the trip with alumnus Dudley Burgess '64 (leading the way), his sons, my son (Chris '94), Tim Oliver '89, and some soon-to-be friends. Should be a great time!!!
In the meantime, there are several other Wabash Blogs you will enjoy - just click here.
The answers to those questions...
Yes, I have been working out more. Yes, I am ready! Yes, the will is updated. If this is the last sortie - I get down and can't get back! - bury me at Arlington. In lieu of flowers please make a gift to the American Cancer Society, the March of Dimes, or the Smile Train.
And sprinkle a little JP-8 on my grave - I miss that aroma! (Ropes - Jim Roper '68 - can explain!)
Happy Thanksgiving!

WJBC.Com is the IWU professional broadcast done by a local Illinois radio station.
WESN.ORG is the IWU student radio station.

Getting Ready for Illinois Wesleyan
About 5:20 PM...yes it gets dark early now!
Under the lights of Hollett Stadium (temporary lights, that is), the Little Giants are preparing for the Saturday match up with the Illinois Wesleyan Titans.
We're hoping for a good-sized game day crowd from Indiana and Illinois as Bloomington, IL is "just up the road a bit."
Hope you'll be there cheering on the Little Giants!
For tailgate information and directions to their campus, click here.
