I notice a very disturbing trend.

The ones that are not making it this weekend that I'm aware of: All have wives....

Note to self: Continue to drink in excess of 25 Bud Lights per live Spa Card to remain an embarrassing, drunken idiot that no one would ever marry.

Life is VERY good richiebee! One of these days we will connect. NC Tony, too bad you didn't make it. JohnnyM gonna do it next year he says.

TGAB, Sorry I didn't make it for Travers to see you this year. Just kind of how things shook out for me. Hope all is well.

Shanahan....I was NOT happy with last night's result. Cubs get it done tonight in STL. Kris Bryant was right: St. Louis Can be BORING LOL....that's why I'm heading to see Uncle Bill's Circus tomorrow.

A Fairmount article if interested. I heard the same two weeks ago during my lone live Fairmount appearance this summer about the $50 million planned to be spent by Stiritz/Casino Queen to get this off the ground one day. It is good to dream but I'll believe it when I see it.
