Sunday Stealing

Tune In

1. Name a TV show you've seen every episode of. 

2. On which device do you do most of your viewing (television, tablet, computer, phone)? TV

3. Name an actor/actress who would make you less likely to watch a show. Roseanne Barr Arnold. A roseanne by any name still stinks.

4. When you were a kid, what show did you love?

5. What show do you recommend everyone watch? Columbo. I can't recall why I didn't watch it back in the day, but now I'm hooked. That show is so perfectly constructed, it's like a Swiss watch. 

6. What show do your friends like, but you don't? My friend Amy watches/rewatches Game of Thrones and its spinoff. One of the girls at the card shop tells me I would love Hunting Wives. I watched the first episode and she is very wrong. However, it's still a free country – despite the Trump-led FCC efforts – and I'm glad they enjoy themselves.

7. When you watch TV, do you also busy yourself with something else (jigsaw puzzle, folding laundry, etc.)? Depends on the show. I have been known to pay bills or put laundry away while watching TV.

8. Do you eat a meal or snack while watching TV? Usually. I watch a lot of TV and therefore have a very large ass.

9. What's your preferred genre (comedy, drama, reality, etc.)? Sitcoms.

10. Do you prefer mini series (shows that tell their stories in a pre-determined number of episodes) or shows that come back season after season?) or shows that come back season after season? I don't care. For me it's the content more than the format. 

 

And it's a wrap!

 

The Cubs lost 3-1 last night to the Milwaukee Brewers. This was not unexpected, as the Brewers are the better team.  I'm just so proud of my guys that they forced a Game 5 in this best-of-5 series. That took grit.

I'm also proud that the first two games were played here in Chicago, within the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field. It showed the country that Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are lying sacks of shit. Chicago is not "a killing field." There are not riots in the street, unless you consider tipsy young people tumbling out of Wrigleyville bars "a riot." 

No need to fear them

This was the season that we gave Ryne Sandberg his due and welcomed Anthony Rizzo back home. Pete Crow-Armstrong became a superstar and the team finished 22 games over .500. It was a more emotional and entertaining season than I could have imagined back in April.

I love being a Cub fan. It has enriched my life in so many ways. October baseball has been a gift.

Now all I want is for my heroes in Cubbie blue to have a wonderful winter in warm climes, filled with days on the water or on the links.
