Cubs Brothers

Killian grew up on the north side of Chicago and is the biggest, lifelong Cubs fan I’ve ever met. He and Liz, and actually all of us, have spent a lot of quality time with Killian at games or watching games or talking about the team. One of the very first times I hung out with Killian and Liz was in the bleachers at Wrigley. To have their wedding announcement displayed on the Wrigley Field marquee must have been a dream come true for Killian. After everyone got their photos taken we went to Goose Island Brew Pub for one drink (man, it was HOT out) and then it was off to the rehearsal dinner.

The brick in the last photo is in the ground just off to the side of the Wrigley Field marquee. Malachy told me that Killian purchased it as a Christmas gift one year for him and Naoise.

Shopping for Riley’s Baptism

October 16th, 2004 · 2 Comments

Chicago Theater Marquee Changing
Chicago Theater, The Loop, Chicago

I passed by the Chicago Theater on Thursday night as I was shopping for a gift for Riley for her baptism tomorrow. The workers there were changing the letters on the marquee and it was kind of fun to watch them stand in piles of letters reading what should be spelled out on the sign.

Today was freeeeezing outside. I still wore my denim jacket but also wore gloves and was still cold. I shopped for hours for an outfit to wear tomorrow. I don’t know why I’ve been stressing out about it so much. I guess because I don’t have a ton of clothes for the fall right now. I have summer clothes and winter clothes but not a lot for in between and not a lot that I would feel comfortable standing up in front of an audience in, since I am one of Riley’s sponsors. I ended paying way too much for a skirt that I really love and have vowed to wear it every week to justify its price. I hope everyone likes black and white tweed because you’re going to be seeing a lot of it!
