Cubs & Gordy - 2 For 2

I went to my second live Cubs game yesterday, and came away 2 for 2. The day started out bad with it throwing down rain and the windshield wipers on the truck up the swanee! The journey from Skokie (thanks to Lorraine for dropping us there) on the CTA trains downtown worked very well. Breakfast at MacDonalds, still raining, sitting through 3 hours of presentations of the Magic Helpdesk tool, looks pretty sweet BTW, off to one of the rooftop venues for the game, still raining.

Several free beers, hot dogs, steaks, burgers, warm cookies later, still raining. We got soaked through whislt waiting for the game start, but soon dried out when the sun came out.

On my last outing, they were winning when I left the ballpark, losing by the time I got to the bar accross the street, and winning again when I started to watch again. Yesterday, they led from the 3rd innings and never looked back. Derek Lee, the man is awesome, came to the plate with 1st and 2nd occupied, the Cubs down 2-1, and sent the ball over the fence! In the 4th innings he did again, but unfortunately was on his own that time. I went to go buy a shirt, so I could be a real Cubs fan, but I refuse to pay $150!

I think I am getting to like this baseball lark, much better than cricket..sorry Rob, Charlie, Tim & Ziggy!

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

Image
I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
