Playing guitar and singing at a gallery reception reminds me of grocery shopping with mom when I was five years old and being attracted to darn near every package of cookies I saw in the cookie aisle. There were so many times I wanted to stop and look clo...

The following was posted by Marjorie at Facebook re Bill Conger whom we HOPE is in line for a liver transplant. I will copy and paste to Honey & Quinine as I learn more. “Bill’s current status: Still at Baptist in Kendall waiting to be tak...

My brother William Harrison Conger came into the family two years after me and 14 years after our sister Dorothy. Bill and I went our separate ways, and he’s been living in Florida many years. During those years, from what I observed during our corr...

A few days ago, I arrived at AeroKnow Museum at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport for another afternoon of shuffling it into shape before letting the world beyond just us friends know about it. Walking to the truck I saw two linemen (the hard-working gents ...

In August 2009, I was working 40 hours a week at The Granite Guy. This spring I began working 26 hours a week, and in recent weeks I’ve been working 12 hours or fewer. He owes me $2,400 back pay. I still drive the truck George loaned me, but my re...

A good fellow I met when the aviation history organization he belongs to displayed a beautifully restored B-17 at the local airport in June posted a picture of a new shoulder patch (he purchased and promised to wear) to his Facebook friends, among them mo...

Exit From Dizzyland I was getting along nicely at Dizzyland on Wabash, mostly taking pictures of control line modelers flying their airplanes and visiting often with friends Jim Richardson, Mike Evoy and others. Owner Bob Peterson seemed an older brother,...

I’ve just committed myself . . . . . now don’t get your hopes up . . . . . . . for the first time in more than a year, to memorizing a poem I have not encountered previously. The poem is Sara Teasdale’s “I Am Not Yours.” It...

This morning, August 7 was the most perfect morning I can remember this year. It was the perfect morning, not only to mow the front lawn (about a week past due), but to spend a few hours trimming the almost obscenely neglected overgrowth on the north quar...

Three days into August and I’ve discovered a something that might have been. Early into the moving, with my patron’s permission I added a third room to the resources at the airport known collectively as AeroKnow Museum. It was the room formerl...

Over drinks at a local hotel Friday night with friends I remarked I couldn’t understand why anyone should be afraid of sharing oral (public speaking, reciting or reading poetry and creative writing) or music with others in addition to sharing it wit...

The paucity of posts here at Honey & Quinine this month surprises no one more than me. I’m communicating with readers here the way I used to communicate with my mother after she retired to Florida in 1979. I was guided in that approach as I̵...

I grow impatient with drivers whose bodies are behind the steering wheels and whose minds are in the clouds. They’re the ones first in line at the stop light who take three seconds to react when it changes to green. They take two seconds more than I...

There are days when I think I shall not complete the move to the new AeroKnow Museum at the airport until fall rolls around. The oppressive heat, combined with anxiety maximus over the upstairs duplex vacated two months early by a lease-breaker who gave m...

I’d rather have two eggs over easy, a few sausage links and hash browns any day, but today, I was more interested in avoiding an “eggish” and a “meatish” in a “biscuitish” and wrapped in “paperish.” ...

The past month has been a dogged routine of taking pickup truck loads of aviation history from home to the new AeroKnow Museum headquarters at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. It’s evolved into packing the truck bed and cabin with boxes, unloading b...

The routine of taking at least one pickup truck load a day to the new museum HQ at the airport continues. Dave Bakke’s excellent column about this bombastic review drew several encouraging comments from friends and some new support as well. I took f...
