I've heard many complaints that the Traveling Pirate has not been posting. Yes, I went to Los Angeles in October and did not post about my travels. I apologize profusely.
So where is the Traveling Pirate today? Beautiful Wrigley Field. Bright sunny skies and nine rows back from home plate at cost of one third of the ticket's face value. One cannot beat an opportunity like this. Two years ago, I attended the Crosstown Classic (versus the Cubs) with an excellent ticket. That ticket was free compliments of my friend's brother-in-law, Mke Quigley who is now the Congressman from Chicago (taking the place of Rahm Emanuel). Happy birthday to me!
Today I am attending the game with my aunt Sheryl, my loud cousin Jordan, and her friend Sam. I am currently enjoying batting practice and a strawberry daiquiri. It is shocking how close we are to the field.
Some may wonder why I am considering a short hour and a half drive to Wrigley Field traveling. How far does one have to go before one is travleing? My answer is if you're leaving your hometown, you're probably traveling. Wrigley Field is not a place I am on a regular basis so thus I must be traveling.
