Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Lordy, I can just read Captain's mind right now. :P

Cubs are up 5-1...
And there it is!!! Cubs win Game 2!!! Going back to Wrigley for Friday and Saturday games. Woot!!!
Just couldn't even post until it was final.....such a crap year all around: horrible election year......Mom's decline, hospice, passing....and shitty day today, too.....really, really needed this.....so great!.....Yessss......Cubbies!!!
OMG....My wonderful hometown of Chicago will be going CRAZY on Friday!....
Thank you, thank you, thank you Cubbies!......Absolutely BEST GRIEF THERAPY!!!
So happy that you have this simple joy right now of rooting for your "home team" in the World Series. :-D
I'm sorry..........so sorry.......that I was such a fool!
#1 Q re: Wrigley: Why no lights?.....As a fellow Chicagoan you will appreciate that!
Um, Mina, I get it about the lights... sort of. They put in lights in '88, though, lol. Did you know that? I don't know how long you've been an "expat." ;-) The surrounding rooftop bleachers are still in place, though, despite ongoing attempts to put up signage or other things to block the view, or put through regulation to stop the rooftop stands.
For those of you not familiar, Wrigley Field is surrounded by buildings with stands on the rooftops where people can join a private club - or some are open to public, I think - and they watch the games from nearby rooftop bleacher stands.
Mina, that's amazing about your past work at Chicago Architecture Foundation. The friend I'm meeting for the game on Friday also works to preserve and improve existing & historical Chicago architecture. Seems like such a neat job! He loves what he does. I'll ask him more about the specifics on Friday, likely.
Good night, all. xx
Yep.....dang wonderful rooftop parties..... I can remember more than a few.....lol....
Thing is.....I was also a journalist and belonged to the Chicago Press Club (much better deal than my poor paying newspaper job!).....in lieu of bad pay.....good seats.....dang good connections....and some lessons in how the world works.....
Time for you to go night night
As far as it concerns me, you are welcome to post here anytime.
Posting where your friends are is a good idea, imo.
Some people are posting here, there, and everywhere.
I think that makes things more interesting. imo.
