I'm writing this as we ride in the car. The White Sox lost, though they made some noise in the bottom of the 9th inning. The score was 5-3, and they had the bases loaded with Joe Crede up. Unfortunatley for the South Side team, he flied out to short left field.
We woke up at 5:30 and left from Craig, Carol, and Ashley's house by 6:05, but not before they served us breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls. They were TOO kind to us. However, that's not a complaint. :)
The Sox park was pretty nice. It was also pretty well attended with 30,004 fans. If we wouldn't have gone, the attendance would have been an even 30,000. Peter pointed that out.
Funny story. At the beginning of “God Bless America” during the 7th Inning stretch, I noticed that I had forgotten to take my hat off. Naturally, I was slightly embarrassed so I reached up and snatched it and held it to my heart. As I was ripping it off of my head, I vaguely remembered that I had put Weaver's sunglasses on top of my head. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as I watched the glasses sail 3 feet in front of me, over the railing, and undoubtedly down onto someone's head far below. Needless to say, it was hard to keep from laughing during the rest of the song, but I managed to keep it in by biting my mouth, though my shaking shoulders would have given me away to a casual observer. No, we did not get them back; I owe Weaver a pair of sunglasses.
Right now, we're driving next to a Chicago Bears ambulance, yes that's right, a Chicago Bears ambulance. I'm not sure—as a long-time Vikings fan—I could be carried in that emergency vehicle without feeling...well, a little animosity towards the medical staff that DEMANDED a Bears ambulance, of all things. I'm not saying that I'd refuse care, but the thought might cross my mind. :)
Anyway, we're on the way to Alex's house who lives a little outside of Chicago. He's going to let us stay with him tonight. What a blessing.
Two parks down, nine to go. We're off to Indiana tomorrow!

Loving the moves at Taco Bell. [You might consider heading for the border :)] What a kind thing to do for the server!
Does one take off their hat during God Bless America....hmmm?
Good to see the NL win again.
Look out for high water and keep your feet dry--for everyone's sake.
