Laughs

Saturday night, Michele and I went to the Chicago Theatre for some real South Side comedy. By that I mean the performer on stage getting a rise out of sold-out venue by mentioning St. Cajetan’s. And that’s what Pat McGann did. McGann mostly aimed his comedy at “sandwich” folks, middle-aged couples raising their kids while keeping an eye on aging parents; that used to be me, until I migrated to the outside of the sandwich. Whatever, I can still remember those days. Which is why I could enjoy McGann’s take on travel sports, even though he was talking hockey. Ah, yes, an 8 AM game in Kenosha, followed by one at 9 PM “if we win” and another at 7 AM tomorrow “if we win” and on and on and… You had to be there, both ways, to fully appreciate it.
