Sweeping Away Cobwebs....

....from this blog..and [COUGH] the dust.
The Chicago Fire's coach Dave Sarachan has a lineup depleted by injuries and national team callups. A couple of the fill-ins, Bakaray Soumarie, and Willian Oliveira have done well. Nevertheless the Fire is a team made of of folks not used to playing with each other.It showed Saturday night. Chivas's pass distribution was much better. Nevertheless, the Fire's defense had a good game until...until...oh go to the MLS Website and click on the highlights.of the Chicago-Chivas match.It's a cruel game. One slip up by Dasan Robinson and Chivas gets a goal. Read more here, if you must.

Hmmm...next Saturday....go to the Globe and watch DC United vs the Chicago Fire? Or go hear the Grant Park Chorus sing.
That used to be an easy choice. Watching soccer shouldered everything out of the way. On the other hand: how much disappointment can I bear? I have a sideline pass to FIRE games, and thus really can't express my emotions about the team's performance...although I have been muttering obscenities. Nevertheless, it's hard to shoot photos and yell WTF!!! at the same time.Nah. When I realize that the only choirs I've heard recently have been my church choir, and the mass that makes up Section 8, then I think it's time for some cultural enrichment. Blake Adams, our choir director, sings in the chorus. It's time to hear what he and his fellow choristers can do.Hearing Mendelssohn will not make me grind my teeth, the way an overhit crossing pass does.
