Back in the U.S.A.!

The weekend in Houston was what I expected and more. On Friday, Pink Shirt Night was without incident or interruption. (Then again, Pink Shirt Night has NEVER failed.) On Saturday, Harry Caray paid a visit to Minute Maid Park for the first time since it opened in the year 2000. But even Harry Caray's cheers were not enough to spur the Cubs to victory over the Astronauts on Saturday night.

Sweet Home Chicago
While I had many pleasant experiences in Houston, I must say that I am glad to call Chicago my sweet home. Houston seems more like an agglomeration of suburbs than a city. Its downtown includes some fun bars and clubs, but during the day there was very little activity. The public transportation was not very useful, so it seems owning and relying on an automobile is a necessity. In short, I will be in no hurry to return to the fourth most populated U.S. city.

Below, I have posted some photographs of Saturday's Cubs game. Enjoy!!!
