Cubs v. Astros, Clements v. Clemens

Houston scored all of its runs on solo homers, two by Craig Biggio and the game-winner by Carlos Beltran in the ninth. Roger Clemens, seeking his 11th win, had to settle for a no-decision.

Ms. S in Wisconsin

Ms. S went to Wisconsin--to see sister and family's new location in River Falls. Summer camp home of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Bill Irwin at Steppenwolf

A great show, though not what we expected. Very informal, very theatre-crowd-ish.

Alunni Weekend and Cyrano

It was Alumni Weekend at U of Chicago. As part of the festivities, I saw a production of Cyrano at MCA coproduced by the Court and Redmoon.

So, pretty fun to hang out at an alumni weekend after going to my Yale reunion. Much more low key, though, and more academic. Better use of Bagpipes, though...
