One has to have a sense of humor to survive these days. Long-time Cubs fans, such as I, are well-versed in the humor requirement. I have written about how much I love the Cubs announcers, JD and Boog. (See June 1 post.) Yesterday the Cubs blew a 6-1 lead and lost 7-9 to the Mets, the Cubs' fifth loss in a row. That's the first time this season they have lost that many games consecutively. In an annoying loss such as that, the announcers wander into random territory. Boog said something goofy, JD corrected him, and the above quote popped out. Yes, it was one of those "had to be there" moments, but it made me LOL. JD and Boog are priceless--I hope the Cubs hang onto them forever.
I would be remiss if I did not note that today is the anniversary of both my parents' passing, 21 years apart. I figure my dad did that just to piss off my mom, so that she would have to share her special day of remembrance. Theirs was a "rocky" relationship, at least from my perspective.
Navigating September,
