Put a tablespoon in water and drink for more good skin affects. Getting night cramps in legs and feet? Could be dehydration or potassium deficiency--if you don't like bananas--put cinnamon and sugar on them.

Great Update on Chicago Directions Etc.

Dean Weyer sent the following message: (Thanks Dean!)

Maripat,

A few words of wisdom about the directions and the area for our families: The address you have listed (901 W. Roosevelt) is to the north entrance to the physical education building.  On the north side of that street is a university parking lot.  I dont know if they charge for Saturday parking.  You would enter that lot on Morgan street.  If they follow your mapquest directions there is a baseball field that you'll see aside of that parking lot on the north side of Roosevelt.  That is NOT the field we play on.  The UIC varsity field is on the other/south side of the PE building.  Also, there are restaurants, coffee shops, sports bars on Halsted just east of the ballpark.  I would suggest folks look at the following google maps link:

Beautiful triple by Willy Bolles to get us started. D'Amato doubles to bring him in. Drees runs for D'Amato and a Tangney hit brings him home where he slides and is called out on a very controversial call. (He was safe :-))

--------------------------------------------------
Great DP to start the 6th with Bolles diving to catch one in front of the mound and firing to 1st to also get the runner. Didn't he just hit a triple? He is Bolle-ing us over tonight! Oh, and I wrote that before Willy made the 3rd out of the inning. Do I smell a Bolles highlight reel?

Flip beats another one to 1st and steals 2nd again. Left stranded.
