Beth, I was so pleased when they broke their streak of not making the World
Series … Figured if they can do it, so can the Cubbies! (Yeah, hope springs
eternal.)

Re: Diva in the Dugout (4:19pm January 29, 2014):

Thanks, Maura! Seems as if everyone either LOVES or hates the Yankees. Growing
up so near, you have good reason to root for them.

Re: Diva in the Dugout (1:00pm January 29, 2014):

Thank you, Susan. BEAUTY comes out in a little more than a month. I'm starting
to count the hours …

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.)

Re: Diva in the Dugout (12:53pm January 29, 2014):

Thanks, Peggy! I agree watching sports, preferably live, is the way to go. You see
so much more that way — 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 — on the street Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" lived on, but that's
another story — so I rooted for the Bears growing up. Then the Colts moved to
Indianapolis … 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 …
