  • I Love L.A.

    Guess who I just got off the phone with? The Los Angeles Dodgers! As you might recall from my April 2 post, I am the fortunate winner of a trip to Los Angeles to see my Chicago Cubs lose to the L.A. Dodgers. Well, I got the package in the mail from the Red Cross today and started the process of finalizing the details. Check this shit out. For me and my three guests, in addition to meeting Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, we get to watch batting practice from the field right behind home plate. We also get to sit in what amounts to the best seats in the house and have passes to all the food and non alcoholic drinks we can ingest. I tell you, its all too good to be true. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to rub it in, but I can't believe I won it.

    To make things even better, I've managed to convince probably my three best friends to go with me. All we have to pay for is airfare for two of them which will be split among all four of us. We also need to pay for a third night at the hotel as we decided to go from Saturday until Tuesday even though we have only two nights at the hotel. We are going to be in L.A. on a Saturday night. Let's see how much trouble we can get ourselves into!

    As excited as I am about the trip, I'm nearly as equally excited as getting the boys together to go just like old times when we used to take road trips together. Those road trips were probably the most non sexual fun I've had in my life and while it has been years since we last took a trip together, I would imagine it's going to be just like old times. I absolutely love hanging out with them guys and a trip together like this is going to totally kick ass; I can't imagine going with anybody else.
