The Weekend
The weekend was somewhat eventful, I'll have to say. Friday I just kept it low key essentially. Saturday though, I got to head out to Round Lake (a.k.a Southern Canada) for my first ever co-ed wedding shower. It was a pretty solid time. I brought a bottle of '02 Franciscan Cabernet to "share" but I pretty much drank the whole thing myself. Well, maybe just 2/3 of the bottle. I had a little sangria also, caught up with the Lamores and got pounded at bags. Hopefully, you know what I'm talkig about with "bags". Anyway, after rolling out of there in the early evening I attempted to get to another party. Of course, Uncle Curtis was prominently involved so I didn't get there. The only place I really went was a little neighborhood called "over-served". This was no surprise.
Sunday morning brought brunch at Wishbone in the West Loop. The service was absolutely horrid but the food was solid as always. I then cruised out to the 'burbs and spent a little coin on some new threads. From there, I was able to get to the grocery store, tackle my laundry, dishes, get a run in, and catch The Sopranos and Grey's Anatomy. I thought Grey's was excellent this week, by the way. I even had a little time left for some Party Poker. This was probably my most productive Sunday in quite some time.
Other happenings this weekend....
My brother had his biggest game of the season against the dreaded Pepsi squad. After a tough first inning where he yielded his first two runs (1 was earned) of the year, he settled down and threw 3 scoreless innings. He then proceeded to get his first home run of the season and follow that up with a double that should have been a triple were it not for a dubious call at 3rd. His squad triumphed over Pepsi and remains undefeated.
I got news that my man Dan Brown in Milwaukee will be a father soon. His wife is 3 months pregnant. Congratulations DB, I knew those fish could swim!
The Suns held off the Lakers, making my buddy Swartz happy. I'm happy for him also. Still, this Suns team has no hope of making the Finals. That much is obvious.
It became clear to me that the Cubs season is probably over already. This is a sad, sad thing. Of course, the White Sox are crushing the entire universe. This just makes it worse.
Alrighty, I'm out of here. Time to eat some more garlic stuffed olives.

You know what you are probably doing right now? Waking up to find torn up betting slips all over your hotel room from you and all your donkey friends' bets on the Clippers to beat the Suns. Booyah baby!
Of course, you're still in Vegas and I'm back home so my gloating is a bit hollow....
