Now, compared to the Andersen’s and Motorola’s of the world its no big deal, but for my small start up its a treat.

Yeah the Cubs suck, but its the last home game of the year, and we’re sitting right behind the dugout. I’m geeked! The weather is great for the first time in weeks, and my project is moving along like a champ. Today is a good day. Here’s to getting a tan, a beer (or 6), a dog on the clock!

Go Cubbies!

Wow. I am impressed. That sounds like a wonderful day.

May a Sammy Sosa foul ball careen violently off the obnoxious guy near you and fall softly right to you.

While you’re there, have a beer or five. Hey, Harry Carey used to drink on the job …

Who won today?

Yeah, I thought so.

Go Phillies! Be the second worst team in the NL!

Booooo!!!

Cubs, bases loaded, down 4-2 with no outs in the bottom of the ninth. The game ends, Cubs lose 4-2…man we are terrible, but I’m drunk and had a great time :).

…That Padilla guy might actually work out as a closer, after all…

**Go Phillies!**
