Chicago August 2009

Was in Chicago for a conference my company was hosting. Fortunately the Cubbies were in town and I got to go to the game with Steveski.

Wrigley is sweet. Our seats were field level, even with the 3rd base bag, about 25 rows off the field. Drew Barrymore led the crowd in Take Me Out To The Ballgame.

Cubs ran away with this one, with the Brewers walking in a run with the bases loaded (twice!), and hitting 2 batters with bases loaded.

Wednesday night a bunch of us went out to see some Chicago Blues and the Kinston Mines. Eric and the Troublemakers were hot.

The last picture is a sticker posted to a street sign right outside the Mines. Here's the story on Officer Frugoli

Jacob gets to operate a crane

So, Last month Jacob and I were getting ready to leave the nursery, when this crane truck drove up carrying 3 huge sections of a tree. We were content to watch, but then the tree dude asked if we'd like to help unload the tree.

They got the stump all hooked up, and Jacob and I got to lift the levers to raise and move the first section. Fun!

Any teeth in there?

I love my brother.
