I’m hoping the cat left enough for the wife, or you’re in deep dog doo doo. As a male human, I have this advice for other males who have anniversaries – it means more to them than we’ll understand – do yourself a favor, make sure you do something about it – like feed your cat a nice steak dinner, with a Goose Island beer (as one who lived in Chicago – I loved seeing the glass – however – don’t get all misty eyed over the idea of an island – there wasn’t one, is’nt one – its a micro brew pub in the near north side of Chicago – it used to, however, have one of the most thrilling events I’ve experienced – pre-Cubs game happy hour – doesn’t sound like much – and it wasn’t much at the bar, but they provide free transporation from the Goose Island Brewery (just north of the old Cabriney Green Housing projects) up to Wrigley – on a double decker bus – convertable – yeah baby, we’re talkin’ about the double decker with the open roof – oh, so you say, what’s so special about that – it’s the route taken.
You see, this place would let you drink ‘reduced’ price hops, then jump on its bus for a ride to the game. Where else to go but up top – you know, after a coupe of quaffs, you’re feeling pretty confident – HOWEVER, as I said – the exciting thing was the route. Chigago is pretty much a grid – north/south, east/west – so any good driver would drive east of the brewery, and then north on the street that Wrigley is on – Shefield. The thing is, that, the city of Chicago really had not planned on a bus, double decker, cruising all of these streets – you see, the bus would actually hit numerous, and I mean numerous, trees along the way –
In our general state of imbibement, this was good fun. TREE came the cry from the front of the bus – then everyone on the top deck would duck into their seats and let the leaves, branches and sometimes, large branches, sweep their way down the bus at the speed we were going, usually around 30 mph.
Of course, as most could foretell, this may not be the best type of activity a company to actively promote – so the bus ride was eventually discontinued – but it really was a thrill-
So now – Sunday – NY will beat Boston, Indians will be Chicago, and you’ll have a great Monday night game –
UC- The last ‘security check’ wasn’t even a word – I had to turn the lights up in my office to look for some of the letters- – what a hard word- Rooo Addd – four letters and two syllables (trying to pull in here some David Spade / Chris Farley humor from the classic, Black Sheep.)

Once I have to give a biological, I’m out.

I hadn’t been getting misty-eyed over the idea of an island, but we do like the beer an awful lot …
