Y'all come back now
I was standing on the street corner near Wrigley Field today, when a couple of college looking kids came up to me and asked me where the Bears played. I was taken aback, because they were wearing Cubs hats and ought to know where Soldier Field is.
So I said, "the Chicago Bears?" because maybe they meant some bar band called the Bears. I told them they play at Soldier Field, which is way the other way. They proceeded to explain that they were from South Carolina and had no idea where anything was. Then they asked me what all those lights were, and I said it was Wrigley Field.
I had to giggle at the whole thing, because they were wearing the Cubs hats which upon closer inspection appeared to be brand new. And now they were trying to roll to Soldier Field, apparently without a car or any idea on how to get there. So, to you, kids out for exploring the city, good luck to you. And, I have an elevator pass I'd like to sell you.
Also, in what some may call "predicting the future," I once again saw people filming for the Jennifer Aniston flick along the lakefront. But there was no Jennifer this time, only sweaty cameramen. Maybe it was some second unit mumbo jumbo or something.
And another thing. My little brother's in Brazil until August 8. Last weekend he went into the jungle, and came back with fucking Dengue Fever. Holy shit! Luckily it seems he has the mild version, and should be allright. And here I was thinking I am all exotic because I once caught e. coli.
