Thursday

3 Seems to have made a visit to Wrigley today. Details for the readers?

When I worked in Chicago in the late 70's, I worked on a client that had the Old Style beer distribution rights to Wrigley Field. The company was owned by a couple of older (but not elderly),very different brothers, one a quiet bookworm, the other a gregarious people person. They were good about frequently getting us tickets to games, and a case or two of Old Style in the car trunk. Nobody cared that the Cubs stunk.

The politicians were lined up to take their swings at the Fed Chairman and his lieutenants at a Senate Banking Committee hearing this morning. It went on for several hours. The Bear Stearns "bailout" was the primary topic. And the basic accusation was that, "You're the pro's. You should have known sooner". I love Monday morning quarterbacking. Of course, in Washington, there's always someone at fault.

My plate is full. I think that it is time for a guest blogger.

Have a great evening.
