December 24, 2015: Reason for Thanks
It’s fun to fill out a wish list. It’s even more fun when you can check something off that list. Did everybody get what was on their list? Whether the answer is yes or no, that’s really not the point. … Continued
December 23, 2015: A Christmas Wish
Ok so I came up with an idea. Walking the dog in the morning sometimes sparks some creativity in my head as I slowly walk down the street, half awake, with my pajamas and Jordan sandals (with socks) on. My … Continued
December 14, 2015: Cheering Up
I was debating on what blog to write next. Should I stay in depression mode after this latest Bears failure and write about week 13 of the 1985 season, or talk about the Cubs offseason which definitely has me smiling? … Continued
December 9, 2015: Splashing

December 2, 2015: 31 Million
I’ve got 31 million reasons, and being a Cub ain’t one. I really wanted to reunite with my old manager. He’s one of the best, if not the best, manager in the game. My good guy in the locker room … Continued

What a couple days it has been… it’s definitely been a great time to be a Chicago sports fan. The Bulls and Blackhawks both started their West Coast circus trip last night. Unfortunately, I had fallen asleep before any of the … Continued
November 17, 2015: Chicago ROYs
Congratulations Kris Bryant. You have become the latest Chicago athlete to take home this honor. It was a no brainer… and the baseball writers agreed, making this a unanimous decision. Just like a rookie from the other side of town … Continued
