A Month Is Way To Long

Has it really been over a month since I posted? The dates don't lie I guess. Right now it's about 7:30 in the morning and I'm sitting in a motel room in Chicago waiting for the girlfriend to wake up. She gave me this trip for my birthday and I am having a ball. We got here about noon yesterday and took the train downtown. After eating some serious deep dish pizza at Duet, we walked the city and took in some sights, then caught a cab to the United Center to watch the Predators play their last game of the season against the Blackhawks. In case you were curious, the Preds clinched a playoff spot on Thursday (a fantastic game against the Blues with a fantastic crowd). The seats were fantastic, three rows from the glass! I was a little disappointed in the game. Arnott, Ellis, DeVries and Zidlicky didn't play. The game didn't really mean anything for Nashville. Well, except for the fact that if we won, we might have to play San Jose in the first round. So we lost, the girlfriend and I took a lot of abuse from the fans (my favorite was a fan that screamed "Nashville sucks! They are gonna get creamed by Detroit! And Detroit sucks too!), but it's easier to tolerate when you know you are going to the playoffs and the Chicago fans are gonna be at home hoping that the Chicago Bears have a good draft.

The girlfriend also got me Cubs tickets for today. I am by no means a Cubs fan, but I am very excited about Wrigley field. I can remember when it became the last ballpark to get lights for night games! The weather looks great and I think we are gonna have a good time.

Tonight we are going to dinner and then she wants to take me to the Hancock Tower for drinks. After drinks, I think the plan is for wild hotel room sex. Or is that before the baseball game? I had better go find my Viagra. I am 40 you know.
