I’m off with friends to watch the CUBS game, but thought I would ask a quick question. Does anyone know of any scary haunted houses here in the Chicagoland area? Thinking it might be fun to check one out during the week of Halloween.
I have no reason to be singing this song, but it’s been in my head for the last few days. Trying to think of what it means, but can’t really put my finger on it. I’m not recently out of a romantic relationship. Not currently in one. Weird.
The Thrill Is Gone
BB King
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you’ll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should
You know I’m free, free now baby
I’m free from your spell
I’m free, free now
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s over
All I can do is wish you well

Something came over me this afternoon and I decided to load Netscape on my Dell laptop. I’m not anti-Microsoft (I own their stock), but I do like having choices. I won’t stop using Explorer, but I like what I see so far.
The 2003 Cricket World Cup is taking place and a champion will be crowned in the next 10 days. Not familiar with the sport? No surprise there. Most people in America have never heard of it. But it’s a sport that dates back to the 18th century. For most Caribbean islands as well as other nations across of the world, cricket is to them what baseball is to America.
”Cricket is a team sport for two teams of eleven players each. A formal game of cricket can last anything from an afternoon to several days. Although the game play and rules are very different, the basic concept of cricket is similar to that of baseball. Teams bat in successive innings and attempt to score runs, while the opposing team fields and attempts to bring an end to the batting team’s innings. After each team has batted an equal number of innings (either one or two, depending on conditions chosen before the game), the team with the most runs wins.”
To get an explanation of the game from an American’s point of view, go here.
