After leaving class today John went with me upstairs to work for an hour. Sadly, it was not very entertaining for either of us. Next John traveled home with me to Murphysboro, IL where he was introduced to the Bachmann family. John seemed to like everyone a lot with the exception of my mother because she was worried that he would ruin her furniture. Lucky for everyone John was very well behaved and my mother soon grew to enjoy his company. The family and John were getting ready to go out for dinner when a family crisis occurred. We learned that my Uncle fell off the roof of the new Minor's Stadium in Marion where he was working for his job. This resulted in a brief delay in dinner and our new dinner party consisted of John, my younger sister Karlee, my best friend Ashley and me! Finally we headed down to the river bottom's towns of Gorham, Jacob, and Neunert. We stopped at the local favorite Bottom's Up Bar and Grill for dinner where John enjoyed the sights, sounds, and food of a local jewel. After dinner we headed up the road to the old Gorham High School where my father attended when he was younger. The school is no longer open due to unrepairable damage, asbestos, and the dwindling population of the river bottoms. To end this eventful night John got to experience the delightful singing of the girls on the ride home and then he fell fast asleep with my little sister once we arrived back at my house.
