There are many ballparks within driving distance in a few days. respond or email me if anyone is interested.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>Pete, You are also from MN, correct? If so we'll have to keep in touch if you are planning on going to the Nationals.<br /><br />I think I ran over Rocky J. Squirrel on the road back from work last night, sorry. Bullwinkle lost a friend.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>I hope that isn't the same steeak place (Gibsons) we went to the last time in Chicago. I order a $29 prime rib and they charbroiled the thing, I coouldn't believe they did that to a great piece of meat. We also had reserevation for 12, gave us a table that fit 9 very tight, and had no room for the Wentzs when they came around. Need less to say I was not impressed. But I will go eat were everyone decides. <br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>Which should be rare..what's wrong with char-broiled? Isn't that the way to cook steaks?<br /><br />You're supposed to say "run it by the fire," or "knock it down and drag it in." Like the dry martini--you carry a bottle of vermouth by the glass of gin (or vodka).<br /><br />Actually, I don't drink, but I grew up in Chicago, and char-broiled rare is the way I always got them.

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>The whole outside was black, ruined the flavor of the prime rib. I may have to with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich if we go there this time, tough to screw that up. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Bob Marquette</b><p>I am not sure I ever had my question answered concerning the Cubs games while the National is going on. Is it best just to contact the Cubs and get tickets now or what? I wasn't sure if someone here had an ":in" and could get us some block seating at a later date. I just don't want to miss out.
