Nothing much to report from the front. It’s Wednesday already; this week is just zooming by. I still have to pick up more pieces of my DragonCon costume. I just need to stop by an Army surplus store and find some boots, perhaps a floppy hat, and a vest.. Oh, and maybe a belt. I think in many ways, this’ll be better than the Jedi outfit I wore last year. Of course, it won’t be as intricate and awesome as the stormtrooper gear that cochranejv has. Still, this is going to be quite kewl. I know this con will be more of a blast than even last year. What could be better than converging with many nerds and geeks alike in celebration of our dedicated weirdness?
My den is now officially my Cubs room; I got a Waveland Ave street sign (the left field street that’s adjacent to the outfield wall), and a pretty huge Cubs flag while I was in Chicago. Cubbies are still doing ok; they’re tied in the Wild Card race with SF. This might turn into another race like 1998 where SF and the Cubbies had a tie in the WC at the end of the season. Finally, the Cubbies are really getting consistently good. Perhaps this means I should send some Parkas down to Hell
