Bears
Bears preseason football starts today. How is that possible? There is no way it should be time for football to start already. It comes on a good day, as there is no Cubs game tonight so I don't have anything to watch this evening but still regular season one month off. Olympics started too. Not super excited or really even interested in them, but I'll probably check out the Judo and Wrestling coverage, as it looks like you can see some of that online which is cool.

This week has been pretty rough sleep wise. I started coming in an hour earlier to make up for Joe not being here any more. I've been going to bed earlier, or so I thought but apparently not enough, because I've been dead all week. So much so that I've not worked out, which is bad but still. So sleepy. Tornado weather at the ball park delaying the game 3 hours or so Monday night didn't help any I'm sure, since it was pushing 1am by the time I did go to sleep. It does give some bright side to the otherwise terrible game Saturday that starts at 2:55, meaning I can sleep in. Otherwise really fox afternoon games are brutal and shouldn't happen any more, and then a 7:00 game for Sunday night baseball. Which is nice because I can go out Saturday night and come home Sunday with enough time to park and do stuff before work.

Horseshoe has done renovations or something and is reopening it's casino in Hammond. It's supposed to have a fairly nice poker room. It's a little closer than the one I occasionally go to in East Chicago or Gary so I may have to check that out one of these days. Like next week when I finally get a weekend off, and also get paid by both jobs. How's that for timing. In fact, that's the third Friday of the month I'll have to move my car for parking that week too. Yeah I'll be there. Playing live is way different than playing online. Live players are just So bad. Sounds like a good plan.

Footage of that tornado-esque weather at the Cubs stadium was all over the national news the next morning. I watch a lot of cable news in the middle of the night/early morning while feeding Grace. I was wondering if you were there. It looked absolutely insane.

Yeah, as it turned out I was part of the stadium team that night so I basically go wherever the most issues are. As you might expect that means during a rain delay I monitor the concourse. So I wasn't outside for the worst of it. After they cut off beer the crowds diminished a lot (big surprise) and I was outside more but the weather had calmed. Till the next lightning delay anyway. It's amazing how many people have to be told sitting next to the GIANT METAL FOUL POLE is not a good idea in the middle of a thunder storm.
