Time to catch up. It appears that I actually do have 1 reader out there, but that's still unconfirmed. They might have come in from Tim From Little Rock's Blog. If you don't know who that is you should check it out.
Last weekend we went to Chicago. I've been to Chicago probably 3 times now so this was not my first time. It was also my 4th Cubs game. I think this makes 3 in Wrigley and one at Cynergy Stadium however you spell it in Cincinnati, but I had never seen the Cubs win. It was 9 guys who made the pilgrimage for my buddy's bachelor party. We met a local at the Green Door who was a Cubs fan. He asked if we all had tickets so we said that 4 of us still hadn't. He went out to his car and came back with 4 tickets that he gave us for free. (face value $100 apiece) Then he tried to pay for our $100 tab at the bar! Q.E.D.: Cubs fans are the greatest fans there are.
I thought I would have pictures by now that I could post, but they have yet to surface. We had a crazy time in Chicago. The Cubs spanked the Phillies. We saw 5 home runs (3 by the Cubs) and they guy behind us made Cubs hats out of animal balloon balloons for us so we were in heaven.
One thing that was odd was the Cubby Bear was out of Leinenkugels. They didn't even have PBR or Old Style! How does a Cubs bar not have Old Style? It just doesn't seem right.
I wish I had more time, but I'm tired and have to go. I'll try and post some more pictures tomorrow.

Goat Roast
This weekend I roasted a goat. Apparently people look at you funny when you tell them that. I don't fully understand what the difference goat meat is from any other meat, but apparently not a lot of people eat goat. It was surprisingly good as we had no real idea what we were doing. I wanted to roast it with a spit all day. This is not something that I have ever done with any type of animal so it was a totally new experience.
Materials: 1 Goat, lemons, rosemary, onions, garlic, potatoes, and mushrooms.
After we cleaned the goat, we rubbed him down with lemon juice and rosemary and garlic and fixed him to the spit. Then we stuffed him with the vegetables and sewed him back up with wire and placed him over the coals. Drink beer and rotate every 20 minutes (or 40 on accident) and take off when the inside temperature of the meat reaches 150 degrees which worked out to be about 5 hours. We started cleaning the goat at 10 AM, put him over the coals at noon and pulled him off around 5:15 PM.
The potatoes didn't seem to cook though, so we pulled all of the vegetables out when we were cutting the meat off the bone and we threw them into a pot with some chunks of meat and made goat stew. In my opinion that was the best part.
The Cubs actually won the day of the roast. This is obviously proof that we reversed the Curse of the Billy Goat so everybody get ready the Cubs will win the World Series this year. Speaking of baseball, Jose Conseco boxed Gary Hogan this weekend at the Arkansas Travelers game. It was awesome. Hogan fought like a champ. It was great to see Jose Conseco. He is still huge. I did my part and boo-birded him. I'm pretty sure that if he wanted to he could snap somebody's back in half. That guy is solid.
Well next weekend I'm headed to Chicago. We're going to a Cub's game as a bachelor party for my friend. It's gonna be great hopefully, I'll fill you in with the details. This will be bachelor party #2 for this summer, and like the 4th wedding and I still have more to go...
