(Note: My kids will be at Wrigley this Wednesday, April 23, 2014, for the 100-year celebration. It’s my daughter’s gift to my son for his 30th birthday.–jrs)
A century ago
a ballpark opened
in Chicago, on the north side.
My children will be there to celebrate.
I was born thirty-six years
later on the south side.
If I live a century
I am hopeful of another celebration
complete with baseball and a
wide open field.

I always associate seeing “Jerry Springer: The Opera” with Wrigley. How perverse of me. I hope they have a lovely time at the ballgame.
Yep. That’s perverse. 🙂 They’ll be at tomorrow night’s game and the day game on Wednesday.
Uh, How cool of Jess and Ben. How cool. Grinning from ear to ear.
Me too.
