On a Sunday Cubs morning, Saturday-night slumber is broken by helicopters and airplanes swarming outside our place. Some of these choppers are advertising planes. “RedBull GIVES you WINGS.” Some are television choppers.

But, the oddest thing is being woken up by a small air fleet on game days. This is a spring and summer ritual.

Since we are awake, we are headed to brunch at one of the best (and most Sunday-civil) brunch places in the neighborhood.

Uncommon Ground for Sunday Brunch

We will then go to the game (Cubs vs. Astros) with my cousin Gina for her birthday….claro que si.
