Adding to the wish list
Sure, my birthday’s not for a few months yet, but it’s never to early to let people know what you want.
Here’s the full tour of the Gold Coast mansion my alma mater, Columbia College, bought for its new college president and rehabbed for millions of dollars only to put it back on the block again. What a waste.
Meanwhile, at least one Columbia student has learned the true value of an internship … at Playboy.
Windy City Webloggin’
Thanks to articulate.babble for pointing to a couple of cool Chicago blog maps which list Windy City blogs by rail line.
Chicago Bloggers is the more inclusive of the two, while the Chicago Blogmap only includes El stops.
Incidentally, I’m a member of Windy City Webloggers, a Chicago blog Webring.
Meanwhile …
The Minnesota Twins clinched the AL Central division yesterday, meaning the White Sox’s playoff hopes are now officially dead. Congrats to the Twins, who won 10 in a row.
For all the bellyaching about the Sox’s unfavorable schedule, they had their shot down the stretch to beat the Twins face to face and — fortunately — didn’t get it done.
And how about the Red Sox? A fantastic come-from-behind win yesterday now puts them 3.5 games up in the AL wild card race. It’s all over but the shouting.
A Cubs-Red Sox World Series? The odds are definitely against it, but even the possibility at this stage of the season is miraculous.
