30th	31st		June 1st
1964	Graduated from De La Salle High School with honors (top 10 out of 400) one of three to receive 2 scholarships. Ceremony was held in the Basilica of St. Mary.
1969	North Star Lake with Steve: Storm over night blew roof off the Marcel Inn and cut our electricity. We stopped somewhere for breakfast. Left my lights on so flat battery. Luckily, gas station next door and we were able to push the car over to get a jump. In the woods of northern Minnesota a Sting Ray passed us, so we took after it in my '64 Olds with top down. So I was definitely speeding on the day. But when I passed a slow moving car closer to Milacs I was pulled over for speeding. First of all the car is registered to my mom under the name of Fisher, so the cop was suspicious when my name is Malecek. Told him I was coasting back to speed limit after passing a car which was the truth, but he claimed there was no car now following me. So I got the ticket [ed. - got out of court appearance and paid the fine].
1980	Sa - Cannon Falls to stay with David & Billy Krohn overnight. Nice house on a nice street. Fed trout at the park. Put together the bike that they are giving David. Chatted until 10PM with David and his fishing buddy, Willie.
1981	Su - Drove around Lake Elmo, Bayport and checked out an Art Festival in Stillwater. Walked down to the river and saw the Julbilee paddle steamer there and art displays. Had a picnic in Bayport at the shool and let the kids use the playground equipment. They liked the rope walk. Discovered a park on the river and let the kids play in the sand before heading home.
1982	M - Went to Towns. Helen (from Worthington), Darryl and Delores from New Jersey were there. Had lunch with a good dry Taylor bubbly. Many compliments on how well behaved the kids were.
1984	Th - High = 87°F. Towns and mom over for supper and then to Woodbury to show them where I work. As we were signing in, Eric Ze was signing out - turns out that he worked at Foo Choo's about 14 years ago with Joyce, Gail and Chris. Ne's recital which seemed boring compared to last year's. One little girl was a real ham and put on a SHOW. Ne was in three numbers. She did well on "We Got the Beat", but got muddled in the Strawberry Shortcake routine where she was the leader. In "Grease Lightning" she was in the line and performed better. See photos.
1985	F - Aldies for hamburgers with a very good Vidal St Aubyns '83 claret and listening to LPs.
1986	Sa - Fornuseks over for a chat from 7PM to 11:30PM while kids played games. Had to tell David to pretend that they were boys so he would join in. They have 6 acres near Pukekohe - sounds great - almost talked me into it. Both Paul and Val looked good. Had a good time.
1992	To Whites' to do a walk from Isola up the road for a scenic view (video). Monaco Grand Prix: Matthew and Ian tied and I came in last (video).
2009	Su - Got bundled up to go into the bitter cold and rain to watch the Warriors beat the Tigers 14 - 0 with Kevin Locke playing his first game and scoring two tries. The juniors tied their game 24-24. There was a parade of Auckland teams for "100 years of Rugby League".
2014	Sa - Called dad, who was "tortured" in his latest hospital stay - had to remained seated on a chair that set off an alarm if he got up. Word from Leland that Marge died today (30th in USA).
2015	Su - Did a Eulogy for Dad and sent it to Chris. Watched the Warriors just hang on for a win over Newcastle (video).
2019	F - Ann (sore ankle) and Russell arrived at 5PM. Gail and them got takeaways while I cooked up a dal makhani from the food box. After supper we got up a game of Trivial Pursuit - US Genus IV.
2022	T - Countdown in shorts - 20C°! Pruned. AFL: Hawks blew a 25 point lead to lose by 23 to Tigers. Finished Winter of the World.
