Back for the rest of today's mundane entry. We went hiking out at Starved Rock on Saturday afternoon...perfect day for it, save for the fact that it's a lot nicer to go hiking when it doesn't get dark at 4:15 pm. We stopped at some totally random pizza place in Shorewood on the way back for a piping hot delicious pie...the crust was nice and doughy, and didn't have that cracker thinness that so many Chicagoans like for some reason.
Supposedly, the true definition of "New York Style Pizza" is also thin crust, but that's not Upstate New York style. The pizzas I ate growing up were pretty thick and doughy...similar in crust size to what you get from the mass market places like the Hut and Domino's, only much better-tasting...and cut in TRIANGLES, of course--not squares.
K's sister and her boyfriend stopped over for brunch yesterday on their way back from Madison. They were down here for some sort of science fiction convention (yes, I know) and came by for a quick bite. Her boyfriend is supposedly big time into poker, but they really didn't stick around very long....
...and that's probably a good thing, since a card game would have interfered with all my energy that I was channeling toward the Bears. Ahh yes, those sweet, glorious, mighty-defensed Bears.
What a game..only the second time in history that an OT game ends on a safety.
The Sox ended up taking a pass on Omar Vizquel, who signed with the Giants. I'm pleased. I still think the best bet is sign a Placido Polanco or Tony Womack and stick them at 2nd, move Uribe to SS full time, and suffer through one more year of Joe Crede at 3rd.
