The Sportmen's Lodge? OMG!!!!!!!!!! It's been years and years since I was there last. In fact, with so many other places going out of business over time, I'd wondered if it was even still there. So glad to hear that they're still going strong. And, yes. You're right. Very much the sort of place that Frank or Dean would have (or, perhaps did) hung out in. :)

So glad to hear that you had a good day and a chance to connect with so many people. :)

Hope all goes well with your sibling and that the surgery is 100% successful. (Fingers crossed here and a few prayers besides - just 'cause it sure can't hurt.)
