So Chicago got eliminated in the FIRST round of voting for the 2016 Olympics. It was a bit surprising to me, though having Daly and Kennedy kick off our final presentation seemed like a significant downer. The rest of the presentation went well. Rio got the bid, as I predicted on Facebook this morning. They are holding the 2014 World Cup and it's going to be used as a dry run for the Olympics. They'll have two years to work out any kinks, such as multiple murders and kidnappings, before the Olympics arrive.
Biggggg tailgate this Sunday and the first of the "morning tailgates" due to the game starting at noon. Instead of the usual 9:30 start time, I think I'm going to try to get there closer to 8:30 and have a little more time for relaxing. For those who don't remember, we actually cook breakfast on griddles and then swap out the griddles for grills and cook a little lunch before going inside. After the game we cook up some more grub while waiting for traffic to clear. Good fun!!! Should be a whole slew of people there: LL, Benny Baseball, Sausage, Tom Z and guest, Gangsta and friend, Blind Mender, Softball George and guest, and Pope John and guest. Should be a hoot!
Softball in Kankakee tomorrow morning! Three game round robin so I can get some swings in before heading down to Indy next weekend for another big tournament. Whew!!!
