Photo of the day – Chicago summer style
Chicago-style softball (look closely and you can see the extra large 16-inch ball). No mitts needed!
A coworker of mine was in Chicago last week, and it got me thinking: there’s nothing better than Chicago in the summer. The lakefront, the parks, the artisanal custard & ice cream joints, the flowers lining the streets, the Cubs games, the patios at your neighborhood bar, the way the citizens embrace the weather, making the most of the time of year when they don’t have to shovel out their car and try to save their parking spot… I’ve managed to be in Chi-town at least once every year (and was back there in January) but would love to go right now, for the buzz of the summer, the hum of happiness, and some Scooter’s Frozen Custard.
What pitching form!
