Loubotomy.
It's an out-patient procedure performed at Harry County Memorial Hospital, 1060 West Addison Street in Chicago.
Out-patient of course meaning outdoors.
Under the clouds.
In the wind and cold and probable rain.
With a frosty cold Bud and a dog with mustard and grilled onions.
This is what the doctor note looks like when it's filled in:
So, print out the blank one (it should print out to a size that's close to real), write in your info, give it to your boss and go have your Loubotomy.
Or get creative and invent your own surgery: Wriglescopy, Homopenectomy, maybe a simple Bleacher Procedure...you're still not able to work for a whole day.
Even if you don't have tickets, you should find a way to get to the general Wrigley area with a stop at Jake's along the way.
And then it's, you know, play ball.
Terrible Ted Lilly of the Valley of the Shadow of Death will kick off the Wrigley games for 2009.
I absolutely cannot wait!
(Not that I'm going or anything, just in case you work where I work.)
ps: The Hawks just crushed Detroit for the second day in a row.
That's kind of a nice way to end the regular season.
Reed's catch was SICK! SICK! SICK! SICK!
I screamed myself hoarse.
OH MAN. I am so looking forward to that being replayed again and again.

I completely agree, and did the same thing... Jumped out of my seat and knocked over the piano bench, making my mother scream 'til she was hoarse.
I await our amazing Cubby-Blue rendition of the catch, by the way.
Go Cubs :D

What a crazy game. The first pitch homer, the 4 bases loaded walks, the catch by Reed (who was only in the game by serendipity!), Carlos Marmol smokin' hot, Kosuke's blunder, and Kevin Gregg flirting with disaster. How did anyone get to sleep after that one?!
I feel stupid that I gave away my tickets for today's game. I did conjure up an activity for my last math class. We are going to watch the game and keep track of pitch speed then figure range, median, mean and mode. How's that for working the system? Please let the weather cooperate!
Have fun Tim and Sarah and everyone else!

Happy Morning, Guys.
DB - the replays are on right now.
Justin, don't break the furniture.
Donna - I can tell you're one of those teachers your kids will remember after they've grown.
Brilliant math lesson, and I'm sure the kids will be actually interested!
