C-c-c-c-cold

I spent my afternoon being nicely frozen at Wrigley Field watching a baseball game.

The sun made it's first appearance since I've been here, but in the shade it was not particularly warm. In fact in combination with a persistent breeze blowing off Lake Michigan it was pretty damn cold.

Those with local knowledge arrived at the game with blankets, gloves and other cold weather gear. The rest of us just shivered.

The game itself was not particularly notable. There were no home runs (as a consequence of the breeze) or any impressive 'double' or 'triple' plays by the fielding team. The Pittsburgh Pirates ended up winning 4-2. I didn't stay until the end as the cold got the better of me (I don't think I missed anything).
