The front page news in the Tribune this morning was about White Sox player
Mark Buehrle whose stellar pitching performance on July 23 turned an ordinary afternoon game between the Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays into a historic major league moment - the perfect game.
One word headlines like PERFECT! and REMARKABLE said it all for Chicago fans. Even in Cubs bars like the Billy Goat Tavern in Wrigleyville, people were watching and hoping. And Jeff the bartender cranked the Billy Goat siren, usually reserved for great moments in Cubs history.
That's Chicago for you - open minded and big hearted.
We had the game on at home - then headed to the city for our own slice of perfection. Where else can you do so many awesome things within easy walking distance?
We walked around Millennium Park
Played miniature golf
Toured the new Modern wing of the Art Institute
(view looking out at the rained soaked park)
Enjoyed a concert at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion
And ended our evening with dinner in the park. Perfect!Now, thanks to Buehrle, July 23 will be remembered for something
else besides our anniversary!
