My Home Town, The Windy City an LA Heat

Been traveling a lot the past six weeks. In July I took a trip back home to DC/Fairfax. I had a reunion of some friends I grew up playing soccer with. Also got to spend time with the nephews an my sister Lynda. Then the following weekend I went to Chicago/La Porte, IN to take my dad to visit his mom (Go Grandma! 101 and still ticking). We stayed Sunday night in Chicago and went to a Cubs game. We had great seats and Chicago is such a great city. Here are a couple of pictures: (View entire Albums HERE)

After I got back from Chicago, the following week I went to L.A. for business for the week. Didn't get a chance to do anything fun...all work. Had plans to go to a ball game (Dodgers) but damn work got in the way. When I got back I found out one of my friends that I caught up with at the reunion was also out in the land of stars and was at the Dodgers game...small world.
I'm having a cocktail at the hotel bar in El Segundo with some co-workers. My cell phone
'buzzes' on the bar. I glance and notice the area code..."wrong number, I'm sure". But it wasn't a wrong number. Instead it was the voice of someone I hadn't heard from in years. Very strange.

I haven't blogged a lot. Facebook has kept me busy, but I'm burning out from that. It was a great tool to get the ol' gang together this summer but it is getting old.

Aunt Weez broke her ankle. Poor thing is in a cast and may have to have surgery...no fun for an 83 year old I'm sure. So, GET WELL WEEZ! We're thinking of you!
