Beth, I was so pleased when they broke their streak of not making the World Series โฆ Figured if they can do it, so can the Cubbies! (Yeah, hope springs eternal.)
Thank you, Susan. BEAUTY comes out in a little more than a month. I'm starting to count the hours โฆ
Chris: They are fun to hang out with (at least in my mind). I try to write characters that I'd like to have dinner with. As for your suggestion, I think I feel a short story coming on. That could be fun.
Hi, Anne Marie! I used to work with a guy who liked the Astros. I think their luck is as bad as the Cubs'.
Thanks, Amy. Even though the Diamondbacks are only a couple hours away, I haven't had a chance to go to a game since the D-backs played the Cubs in a championship series a while back. (I think it was the NLDS, but I can't be sure.)
Thanks, Peggy! I agree watching sports, preferably live, is the way to go. You see so much more that way โ not just the action on the field, but in the stands.
Jenn: Cleveland, huh? Drew Carey says Cleveland rocks. :D Having grown up in northern Indiana, I'm more of a Chicago fan. (My maternal grandparents lived in Hammond โ on the street Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" lived on, but that's another story โ so I rooted for the Bears growing up. Then the Colts moved to Indianapolis โฆ my brain hurt when the two played each other in the Super Bowl.) But I will, forever and always, be a fan of the Cubbies. Lovable losers โฆ
