So at long last some critical paperwork for Daughter's Study Abroad has arrived. Our next step is to race up to Chicago in order to take said papers to the Japanese Consulate, who will process this information so that Daughter has a student visa (and can therefore stay more than three months). And guess what? Next week we have to return so that we can pick the visa up. I don't really want to trust this stuff to delivery services, so it's road trip time.

I just realized this morning that the Cardinals are playing the Cubs at Wrigley this weekend. Sadly, I don't think the ladies are willing to take a trip to the ivy-covered wreck; neither of them are baseball fans, and they have shopping and museums in mind. It's a pity, though. Given the proposed massive renovations the Cubs are planning, it's probably my last chance to pee in a rusty metal trough amid dozens of my closest friends.

(That might have been said with just a wee bit of sarcasm...)
