"Life is what happens to us when we are making other plans." John Lennon Yes, life marches on and derails our plans to write at least one blog a week, but we are here now. Our time in the U.S. is drawing to a close and we have been very lackadaisical about writing a blog. …
I have been somewhat of a hiatus from the blogosphere. Sue has been doing all the heavy lifting of keeping our blog up to date and all of you informed of our travels. I am deeply grateful that she has been shouldering that burden, but the time has come for me to do some scribbling …
Welcome to Chicago in the times of climate change. And change it does. By the day. Unless, of course, we have tickets to two Mets games at Wrigley Field, in which case it's guaranteed to be soaked-to-the-skin, blazing sun, hot and humid for both games. Not that I'm complaining. Today, it's rainy and chilly (to …

Wow, it has been a couple of weeks since we posted. Sorry loyal readers, we have been quite busy and just did not get around to scribbling down our notes. My mother returned to Florida at the end of August after spending a week with us. My mom is a real trooper, walking hither and …

The spring has arrived. I know this, not because it has stopped snowing in Chicago, but because baseball season has arrived. As Josh & I continue our tour of stadiums, we are attending opening weekend at Chase Field in Phoenix. Number 18 on our tour. We decided to attend the first two games of the …
I hate the winter. Chicago is cold, windy, gray, and snowy. I am miserable from the beginning of November until the spring comes...in July. This year, I have been particularly miserable; I am not really sure why, it hasn't been very cold, there has been almost no snow and while it has been very gray, …
Last weekend, as I have previously written, was a baseball weekend with Josh. On Friday night, we went to Milwaukee and had great seats. We sat in the third row just off to the third base side of home plate. We were so close, we could almost reach out and touch the guys in the …
Yup. Another post about the best game in the world. Baseball. For those of you who missed the last installment of as the baseball spins, I will bring you up to date. Our intrepid baseball stadium travelers (Josh & Steven) visited Pittsburgh's PNC Park in August to get to the midway mark in the stadium tour(*). …
