The Phallic Road Trip

Yesterday was a hot one.

We made it out to Busch Stadium at around 1:30 for yesterday’s game between the Cardinals and Cubs. Though we did get some shade as the sun set behind the third base side, we sweated through a 7-1 win by the Cubs — our final game of the trip.

We headed back to John’s place after the game, stopping off at Schnucks to get burgers and brats that we would later grill. With the Olympic trials and a Yankees/Red Sox game on last night, we stuck around the TV rather than hop in the pool.

Didn’t make it to bed until pretty late, watching late night television and old episodes of 30 Rock.

Justin headed back to Chicago this morning. Originally, I was to drive back with him tomorrow, but since he decided to get back to his family a little early, I’ve changed my plans and booked a short flight to Chicago for Wednesday morning, from where I’ll fly to New York.

While today has been pretty lazy, it’s been good. Sometime after dinner, we’re planning on hooking up my external hard drive to the family’s big screen TV and scrolling with his parents through the nearly 4,500 pictures I took over these last six weeks.

Tomorrow, we’ll probably head out and see some of St. Louis, though I’m not sure what we might do.

Regardless, after so long on the road, it’s nice to just relax in a house before making my way back to New York in a few days.
