October 7, 2018: 5 of 6
Saturday night came, and I continued trying to watch as much of the Blackhawks game as I could. It was a very entertaining game. Toews had scored 2 goals, both off rebounds. He does his best work in front of the … Continued
October 6, 2018: The Return of Last Year
After last week’s scoring outburst, I was feeling pretty good about my son’s basketball team. 12 points should win many games this year. Yes, my son may have to carry the team in scoring, but we have enough kids who … Continued
October 5, 2018: The Return of Hockey
Thursday night brought us Chicago Blackhawks fans the return of hockey. It was a visit to Ottawa for the season opener; puck, dropped. I tried to make time to watch it. It’s not like Opening Day in baseball, or the … Continued
October 4, 2018: Feelings
It’s been a roller coaster of feelings since the Cubs loss on Tuesday night. Shock, sadness, anger, frustration, hopeful, anxious… those are just a few. We were blessed in Chicago with an 80 degree day on Wednesday; that helped the … Continued

October 1, 2018: Only Way To Settle It
This is the only way to settle it. After 162 games, the NL Central division is still not decided. Cubs Brewers at Wrigley Monday to decide the division winner. I remember how the season started, kicking the Brewers ass; I … Continued
September 30, 2018: Are You Not Entertained?
Wow. Wow. That’s pretty much all I can say, and no I’m not talking about the Cubs and Brewers being tied for the division and best record in the NL on the last day of the season; we’ll get to … Continued
September 29, 2018: That Sweet Lefty Shot
I asked the question, but the Bulls team name was already taken. We had to roll with the Timberwolves again, which is fine by me. This will be my son’s second year playing basketball. He’s sprouted over the summer, … Continued
September 28, 2018: Back to the ATL
I missed both the Wednesday and Thursday Cubs Pirates games this week because I was up in the air. It was a quick trip down to Atlanta that was the cause. What would I miss? I actually did see a … Continued
