prutopia

took olivia to her second cubs game. the seats weren't near as good as the game last year, and the train ride was ridiculous (hour and a half), but we had a great time. we were joined by angela and anya who were kind enough not be fuming over our half hour plus tardiness. anyway, the cubs pummeled the astros 9-1. ted lilly pitched. on being informed of this, olivia commented that there's a lily in her talking words factory dvd. i guarantee pat hughes and ron santo didn't bring that up on air.

we got to our seats at the top of the 4th and stayed to the top of the 8th... a much better performance than last year's 2 innings. olivia even got to sing take me out to the ballgame this time. i think that may have been her favorite part (a true cubs fan).

i think we'll try to catch one more game this year. maybe a playoff game? sorry, optimism and cubdom don't mix.
