Matt in Chicago

Lisa and I both have training for work in Chicago this week. Unfortunately the trainings are not at the same time. My training was on Monday so my work booked me on a Sunday evening flight. I had some things I wanted to do in Chicago so I flew standby on the only earlier flight with seats available. The six am flight.

That flight had me in Chicago with plenty of time to see the city, maybe a museum, possibly the aquarium, or another thing......

Spend the day in Wrigleyville!

I was able to look in all the shops, eat at a diner and watch the White Sox lose in the 9th inning on TV (which is very fun to do in Wrigleyville), walk around the stadium, and enjoy the summer day.


I beat the players there and was able to see Ryan Howard. I was kicking myself for forgetting to pack my baseballs!


I bought Bleacher seats and was joined at game time by a friend from work, Angela, and her friend Bo. It was Angela's first major league game.

The Cubs aren't having a great season, and I was worried because I knew Roy Halladay was pitching for the Phillies, but the Cubs handled him just fine!



The Cubs won 11-6!
