A month or so ago, our friend Don told me that the Chicago Sun-Times was having a limerick contest in response to the suggestion that Wrigley Field might be getting a new name.

I was going to chuck my limericks, but Don wanted to send them to a friend of his in Illinois to submit them. His friend’s name? Patricia Garcia! Who submitted this limerick! Which I wrote! Convoluted, eh? But I was pretty excited. 🙂
