STonk has suggested that I might travel to Chicago next year to take in a couple of Cubs' games - and who knows, maybe even drink a glass of beer or two.  I initially resisted, of course, but she twisted my arm and I've finally - reluctantly - agreed to go, as much to keep her happy as anything.

The dates would be somewhere around the 26th/27th May to the 4th/5th June, and would include three games at home against Pissburgh, three against the Asstros, and a couple of games in St. Lou.

So, who's around then for baseball and/or beer?  And is there any danger of getting a rooftop game organised during that period, do you reckon?

I hope you have a great time while in Chicago, Tonk.

But ... you probably don't need to travel across the Atlantic Ocean to experience that kicked-in-the-nuts feeling that comes from watching some disheartening Cubs defeats.  Just sayin'.
M'lady.

Planning seven months in advance strikes me as threateningly neurotic.

It might be, if I didn't have young kids.  I'm already booked up to a greater or lesser degree through February - if I don't stake my claim to these dates now, they'll be lost to family stuff... I suspect most of the fathers around here know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, but couldn't your all-powerful socialist nanny government watch the kids while you were gone? Or is Rush lying to me?

The formula is: Trip Months planning = (# of Kids *2) + (# of spouses * 2) + # of oceans needed to cross.

BO. NER. IAN had mentioned doing a trip north around this time.. Double whammy? I'm sure I'd be the only one excited for that.

June 3rd is my birthday.  I"m just saying there will probably be a party that none of you will come to, but there will be one

At some point it becomes strange to continue to have a birthday party every year.

For most people, that age is 12.

Considering you have zero friends that would ever show up, and if they did, they'd bring shitty Jew presents, I can see why you wouldn't want an excuse to get drunk on the cheap

You people need to be considerate. Do you have any idea how much Yeti is looking forward to following Dubbs around at his birthday party?

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
