Sure, yesterday I strongly implied that I had written off the Cubs' 2010 season. And that's true. But the individual games ... I can't look away, I can't not care.
This evening I stayed at work an extra 90 minutes -- until I was literally the last one on the floor -- because the Cub/Mariners game went 13 innings, and I was so afraid that I'd miss that critical last out, that I wouldn't be there, watching Gameday on the computer, when the momentum switched and they won.
Which, thank goodness, they did.
Which is why, when it comes to the Cubs, I'm still all Paula Abdul.
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.
Do the Cubs realize you're such a super fan??

ReplyDeleteOh, Vivian! There is nothing like the Cards/Cubs rivalry! I hope you win!
ReplyDeleteI knew you wouldn't give up on them!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that I'm not the only die hard baseball fan out there. I do the same thing, even if it inconveniences me.
