WORLD'S GREATEST OUTDOOR MURAL

It is established fact that The Rolling Stones are the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band. Right? Right. Therefore, The Rolling Stones Tongue Logo painted on the side of a building is clearly the World's Greatest Outdoor Art Mural. Right? Well, it certainly is my most favorite mural that I have discovered in Chicago.

The mural is painted on a new restaurant that just opened in Chicago. Pop's Beef - Old Town,   It does seem a bit ridiculous that this artwork is hovering over a dumpster. Don't you agree?

I have been casually rooting for the Houston Astros in the World Series as they have been battling the Los Angles Dodgers. My Father, long ago, taught me that as a New York Yankee fan, it is my 'obligation' to support the American League team in the Series.  Besides, how hard is it to root against the Los Angeles Dodgers? In recent years, I have become so disconnected from Major League Baseball, that I don't think I really was aware that Houston had switched into the American League. I became well aware of this fact, when they beat the Yanks for the American League Championship. When the last pitch was thrown around midnight, the Houston Astros were still standing. The final score was 5-1. In essence, the winning run scored about 5 minutes after the game started. Houston is rebuilding after the horrific hurricane that dropped 50" of rain everywhere. The World Series win is going to be a positive development for this city.

WHAT A GAME!

While I have been busy with my tradeshow in Houston, a rather exciting World Series has been taking place in the city. Game 5, with the series tied 2-2 took place on Sunday night (and into early Monday morning!) There was no possible way to turn off the TV and go to sleep as long as Houston and Los Angeles were playing one of the most high scoring games in World Series history. The game finally ended early Monday morning with the Astros on top,  13-12 in the bottom of the 10th inning after five hours and seventeen minutes.  What a game!

My Sunday (which ended early Monday morning) when the World Series Game 5 finally concluded, started with a 10 mile urban hike in Houston, at 5:15AM
