Here in the Chicago area, the big spectator sport this week has been watching the Chicago Cubs. For all my friends who are Cub fans, go Cubs. My spectator sport, though, is a bit more solitary in nature. Give me an open expanse of mud flats at the local marsh, a good
spotting scope, such as my
Kowa 663, lots of migrating
birds, a thermos of coffee and life couldn't be better. The weather forecast looks good for the weekend, so don't look for me at any stadium. I've got a better seat waiting out at the marsh. Go birds!
