Would That It Were So Easy

Free beer along the Chicago Marathon route on a course that is all downhill. But someone has to protect the runners from the crowd, or vice versa. It was a struggle to find a good view but turn around - the city could be quite a distraction.

Love these. Some say beer is better than chocolate for jetlag. Never tried either of them.

The photo of the kids on the wall, all looking away, is timeless. I have a book from an exhibition in Chicago of the best photos from the archives of the Sun Times. That photo looks like it should be one of them.

As I opened your blog, I am watching last night's Cardinals game, which I recorded and I do not yet know what happened. It is the top of the 6th and the Cardinals are up 7 to 2.

I thought to myself, "Should I open Bob's blog before I finish the game? What if he says something about who won?" I decided to live life on the edge.

My fav photo is the last - or the one before last: I'd rather be seated!
:-)

Congratulations again to the captain!

Obviously for different reasons, the top and bottom shots are my favourites. Fantastic!

Very nice shots. I don't understand the beer sign. But I love the pic of the feet hanging over the wall. :)

The last two photos are particularly fine.
