There are many upsides to having our offices in the New Era Cap headquarters building. For me one of the best is that we are surrounded by so much interesting architecture. And when the opportunity for a lunchtime walk presents itself, I usually have my camera in tow.
So allow me to share what I saw today. And if you’ll continue to indulge me, you can count on more sharing in the near future.

A sure way to lose weight: make food too cute to eat.

I’m not a baseball fan, but when I was offered two tickets to a recent Bisons game, I grabbed my hubby and headed on over. After all, what’s better than sitting out on a nice summer’s night, drinking a couple cold ones and eating some stadium food? But not having been there since I went to see the group Chicago perform after a game back in, let’s say, 1994, I wasn’t prepared for what I was about to experience.
First off, I now know why I always brought my mitt with me as a kid. Holy crap. After a while I gave up trying to duck and was hoping for a new nose job, paid for by the Bisons.
If I forgot to put on clothes before the game, I was in luck. They gave out more free t-shirts than bums give out stink lines. Seriously though, if the City Mission is looking for clothes, they should definitely visit Coca-Cola Field.
And whatever happened to peanuts and crackerjacks? I definitely didn’t see any of the latter, nor did I know that when I ordered a hot dog, I would have to choose between regular, footlong and sliders. If that was my only decision, I would have been OK. But there was so much to choose from – Moe’s, barbecue sandwiches, fried bologna, sausage, ice cream of the future, ice cream of the present, etc. Phew!
Lessons learned for the next time:
1) Wear a helmet
2) Use a free tee-shirt as a muumuu
