I went to the Sox game yesterday with my friend Marietta and two of her friends. She was able to get free tickets from a friend, 13th row behind the 3rd plate dugout! AMAZING seats. I took the picture above from my seat! Homeruns came in pairs, it seemed yesterday, and Uribe had two of them. The day was beautiful, though as soon as the game ended the temperature dropped 10 degrees. I had an excellent time.
It was a busy weekend. My Australian friend Alex has been in town and I've been visiting with her and my old coworkers from Doha. Friday night I went to see Josh Ritter at the Double Door. It was a late night (he didn't go on til 11:30), but it was a spectacular show. He and the band have gotten better every time I've seen them. I made Libby hang around a while til he came out so I could get my hug and him to sign my cd. (If you want to stream some of Josh's music go here and look to the right sidebar for his picture. A window will pop up and you can listen to some songs. Nice acoustic, solo versions of some new and old songs, as well as a Neil Young cover.)
I thought you were a cubs fan?

Bird, did you miss the part about *free* tickets? Plus, I'm pretty fair weather when it comes to professional sports, I'm just happy to support a home team. Go team, go! Marietta, on the other hand, she's a fan. She recited the entire line up on the car ride to the game.

I'm jealous! I had school this weekend.
