My nephew, a second grader, enjoys watching the Cubs with me. This gives me a thrill beyond all because I remember watching the Cubs with my dad and grandparents, all of whom were gone before my nephew was born. I love that I'm keeping them alive by passing the Cubs torch to a new generation.
For luck I have been wearing my official 2003 NL Central Champs shirt a lot lately. My nephew clearly covets the shirt. So today I bought him an official MLB Cubs shirt all his own. Now that the season is coming to a close and another division championship is once again within our grasp, I want him to have his own lucky shirt.
He is soooo gonna love it!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
It's my baby cousin's first birthday this week, I had to miss the party due to work but you've reminded me that I still should get a gift and send it to him...or better yet, hop a train and go visit him.
ReplyDeleteI have distant memories of cheering for a winning baseball team. It's a good thing I always back the loser, because every now and then, my losers (and I mean you, Boston, and you, Chicago Cubs) become winners.
ReplyDeleteHere's to the Cubs.
Your nephew will LOVE this! I can't wait to hear how he responds! Share won't you???
