CHICAGO, IL -- Well, the weekend is over, Rosh Hashanah is over, and now it is time to get serious. 48 hours from now I should be in Philadelphia on my layover, so it is time to crack open the suitcases and start filling them up!
So far I have packed 1 and 1/2 suitcases out of the 4 I need to pack. I realized I own a total of 7 pairs of shoes, and I need them all (two pairs of dress shoes, two pairs of goretex shoes, one pair of gym shoes, one pair of sandals, and one pair of flip flops). I still need to pack all of my linens and a printer, but the rest of it now is just clothes. Winter clothes are all in, now it's just a matter of formal wear, button-downs, and a few polos. The weather for the next week is 60s and sun in London, and it doesn't figure to get much warmer, so a couple of pairs of shorts (in case I fly off to Israel or Morocco or who knows where) should do.
In sports news, Chelsea won 3-0 yesterday, and are at the top of the table in the Premier League! They are 6-0-0 on the season overall, could not ask for a better start! Also, the UW football team beat the pants off of Wofford, 44-14, and now sit at 3-0 to start the season as conference play begins next Saturday. The Bears, who stunk it up last weekend while I was in Honolulu, actually showed up today and took down the defending Super Bowl champs 17-14 with a last-second field goal. Finally, the NHL preseason has started, and my boy Jack Skille (who is fighting for his life for a roster spot) scored an AWESOME goal last night - wicked-wrister, down low, bad angle, top shelf, off the inside of the crossbar.
A belated L'Shanah Tovah to you all!
I hope to have another update before leaving on Tuesday, it's down to the wire!
