Taking in my first Cubs game!
Actually, it might have been August OR September, seeing as how the big trip to Chicago that year with the girl I was dating at the time (Joanna U) was technically over the Labor Day weekend (and, in '96, Labor Day was about as early as it can be since it was on the 2nd).
I was a bit skinnier then, as you can see ... and the secret is that we didn't have these great seats. We ran down for a picture either before the game started or after it was over for an iconic shot with the bleachers in the background.
At that time, I had absolutely NO idea that -- just five short years later -- I'd be calling that great city my home with someone new (a story for this time of year in '98)... NOR did I know that a few years after that, I was living in an apartment building that was basically just beyond that tree over my left shoulder.
Funny how life works ...
