This weekend was a whirlwind thanks to the Chicago Cubs. It started Thursday when my friend Charlsy flew in from the D.C. area. We worked a full day remotely, which brought back memories of working together at a newspaper in Arizona. That night we attended the World Series Gala, an incredible night of gourmet food, live music, dancing and fireworks at the Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier.
