[livejournal.com profile] samwinolj and I were supposed to go to the Cubs game tonight. I looked at the temperature this afternoon (38 degrees) and called Sam and suggested that sitting at Wrigley Field was perhaps not the thing for him to be doing, given that he was hit by a car last week. After a bit of thought, he concurred, so we both skipped the game.

Since the game time temperature was 34 degrees with a stiff breeze off the lake making it feel even colder, I think this was probably a pretty good choice. Looking at the coverage of the game on TV, most everyone else with tickets agreed.

I haven't been to a Cubs game since I was a kid. I miss me some Cubbies. :(

Wha!? Hit by a car? He's obviously something near okay, or at least thinks he is, if he was contemplating the game. Please pass on good thoughts and get-well-soon vibes.

Yipe. I hadn't heard about the car accident. Please pass on our best wishes!

And I'm guessing you will have many more fine games to look forward to in the near future.

Sounds more like good football weather!

Went to a game in Kansas City a bunch of years ago in similar conditions and had a miserable time. You probably made the wiser of choices by watching it on TV.

He was what? Is he ok? Tell him (Now that we know) we'll send good thoughts for recovery his way.

It must have been just a minor (fsvo) impact if he was even considering going to the game.... Best wishes for a quick and full recovery!

I've gone to football games in that kind of weather (having kids in marching band will do that to a person), and it's almost always the better part of valor to stay home.

Like the others, I was unaware he'd been hit by a car.

Sue and I loved going to a Cubs game for the first time when we visted you and Gretchen! I wish we could take you to a Jays game here some day. We live like 10 minutes from the stadium with the street car stopping right at our door. Gresat seeing all of you again and are looking forward to MuseCon!! Phil and Jane are going to travel down with us.
