April 21, 2017: Crash Landing

April 20, 2017: Wrigley PC
Wednesday afternoon brought the return to Wrigley to watch a game for the first time post-championship… Wrigley PC if you may. It felt good… really good…. really, really good. The best part about day games is the parking situation. No need … Continued
April 19, 2017: Happily Confused
Like the Blackhawks, the Bulls are confusing me. Unlike the Blackhawks, I am happily confused with the Bulls. The Bulls just beat the #1 seed Celtics to go up two games to none in their first round best of seven … Continued

April 14, 2017: Too Much Faith

April 13, 2017: Go Time
Set my alarm at 5:22am this morning. I needed some extra time. It’s the start of Blackhawks playoff season, and it was time to shave. It’s one of the best times of the year. I hate shaving. So this is … Continued
April 12, 2017: Ring Thing
I liked it better than the banner raising… this ring thing. The banner raising was nice, don’t get me wrong. I was the proudest Cub fan ever that night, watching that 2016 World Series banner go up. Finally, we were … Continued
