I’m inheriting some money from my father. I think I might actually do this. ---

I have two words for you people and your wannnabe perpetual losers – Chicago Cubs! You want to talk about decades and decades of ripping the souls out of their fans and casting them into the gutters? ---

I’m not sure if it bugs him (a huge, dedicated sports fan). 🙂 ---

The only reason I wouldn’t do this is the same reason I wouldn’t do the Grand Canyon Skywalk - the cost. For $175 I can get a helicopter tour that lasts longer, or I can take entire family to an amusement park. I’d love to do it if the price was more reasonable, though. ---

For $175 I can get a helicopter tour that lasts longer, or I can take entire family to an amusement park. I’d love to do it if the price was more reasonable, though. I just looked up the cost of the Skywalk, which was over $80 three years ago. And you can’t even take a camera onto it!
