Because I am the kind of husband
who cares what his spouse wears (and because my wife likes to take a week off
of work every January), I found myself leafing through a magazine while Michele
tried on clothes at Talbots earlier today.
Imagine my surprise to find that a magazine named for the pricey Chicago
suburb of Hinsdale, not too far from where we were shopping.
I happened on the things-to-do calendar
for January, you know, the fundraiser for wayward polo ponies and homeless
Picassos, that sort of thing. Lo and
behold, they had the Cubs Convention listed, but not SoxFest. This struck me as interesting for two
reasons, the first being the Sox-Hinsdale connection.
Both the Comiskey and Veeck
families lived there at one time, so you’d think that might be enough to get
SoxFest on the calendar, but no. Which
leads me to think that a certain group of people (think very, very well-to-do)
consider one and only one Chicago ball club to be properly posh. Oh, well.
