I worked late last night and then stayed up all night (what was left of it, anyway) so as not to miss my 7:00 a.m. flight this morning. And now I am posting this from Chicago, where sadly, I am not yet able to check into my hotel (though the delightfulness of the front desk staff makes up for that). The one piece of work I had to do this morning has been completed, so I'm stashing my bags and heading to the ballpark.
Not just any ballpark, of course: Wrigley Field. While Wrigley is always a beautiful place to be, there is something extra special about my first visit there in each baseball season. This is my version of a cathedral, I guess. The place will be even more energized than usual today, as the HATED ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE IN TOWN. (Take that, Jay!) Wish my team luck . . . and if you see a girl with a massive Nikon camera obsessively taking pictures, that may very well be me!

Time for the soothing panacea that is baseball

I've only been to Wrigley three times (first time was when Harry was still around) and I'm really not all that big of a Cubs fan, but DAMN does Wrigley kick ass.
THAT is baseball.
Too bad the Cubbies are havin' a tough year. Hope they heal up soon.
Have fun at the game!
"the HATED ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE IN TOWN. (Take that, Jay!)"
Umm .. exqueeze me .. I believe that shoud read "THE WORLD CHAMPION ST. LOUIS CARDINALS"
;-)
I was looking at the National League Central standings in our local Idaho paper the other day. I wanted to see how the Reds were doing, and knowing you were a Cubbies fan I went looking for their record too. Nothing. They weren't listed in the NL Central so I checked the other divisions, thinking perhaps there had been a change I wasn't aware of. Still nothing. Apparently, in the minds of our local paper, your beloved Cubs no longer exist.
Steve, I am glad to know you recognize paradise when you see it.
Jay, I have nothing to say to you. ;P
JD, your local paper apparently has great insight! You should ask them for stock tips or lottery numbers.
