I never left, Ellen. I just haven't been posting as much due to increased work demands. During August & September, I'll probably be posting even less-lots of out of town trips coming up for me, courtesy of my boss.
But I'll never leave here. That would make too many people happy. I'd rather stick around and p|ss them off.

Anyone else going to the Cubs game on Friday?

I don't know. But I am coming with a friend from here who is in our P.H. club, and when I told him I was going to the game with you & suggested he come along, he said he may just try for a game ticket at the box office on the day of the game. He said if he's NOT able to get a ticket, he'll just watch the game on TV from one of the bars in the area, which, knowing him, is a very distinct possibility. (PROBABILITY). (Most likely it'll be Murphy's Bleachers or Sluggers).

Still looking for a concert ticket, though I have a major conflict that day--a memorial in South Bend for a college friend of mine--got to figure out what I am going to do about all of this!

Well, the concert is at 8:00 PM, wouldn't the memorial be over with by then? It just wouldn't be the same without you in the parking lot, but, of course, everybody would understand if your friend's services kept you from attending.

Also Randy (my friend) and I are talking about going to Margaritaville on Sunday and to see OD TAPO IMI. (Both at Navy Pier).
Would you be up for that?

The memorial is at 2:00 so I could get back in time for the concert, but temotionally that would be a tough transition--will have to see--I saw Warren and hi s wife in February, just a few weeks after the diagnosis, and had a good visit. Haven't seen his mother since I was in his wedding in 1977. May skip it, and go see his wife (who I also went to college with) some other time.

As for Sunday---absolutely!

Why is attendance down? Because they're playing such GREAT baseball?

Do what you think you have to do, and if your emotions won't permit you to attend the concert, that's just how it'll have to be. You're right, it WOULD be a tough transition.

So we'd at least have THAT to look forward to.

Just going to be me and my bride this year...we can only get to 1 show this year so we are going to fly solo so we can have more fun!

Need to start working on my modifications to the gas powered blender! Last year the plate the blender is mounted on was way too thin last year. So I had a new heavier plate cut to make it more stable. Called in a favor to my friends who have access to a laser so it has nice clean edges and it should turn out pretty good! Anyone have any ideas for what color to paint it? I was thinking John Deere green and yellow...If I go with a PH theme what would you suggest?

Do you have relatively easy plans for such a contraption that you would be willing to share?

That would make a nice "meet and greet" date then
