Wrigleyworld
Wrigleyworld: A Season In Baseball's Best Neighborhood by Kevin Kaduk
My review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Look, Kevin Kaduk's chronicle of his year living in Wrigleyville and going to all the Cubs games he could won't win any awards. But even though it's pretty self-indulgent predictable fare (the Cubs didn't win the World Series, spoiler!), it is still entertaining enough to make it worth the read. The characters inhabiting the neighborhood - Ronnie Woo, the Ballhawks, the scalpers - bring life to this tale of drinking and watching baseball. And he gets a bonus star for saying what needed to be said: Old Style sucks!
I've started on The Maine Woods by Henry David Thoreau, but I'm not sure how far I will get before putting it aside for more "summer reading."

Brian is coming to the realization that I am not a size XL. Or even a L. Time to donate some ill-fitting clothes.

Nordstrom's also has a free personal stylist, might trust them more than Banana Republic. (Can you tell I'm bored with my clothes lately?) [BrianDau]

Who knew that Banana Republic had complimentary "personal styling appointments"? You know, if you go for that kind of style. [BrianDau]
