September 18, 2016: Mind Wandering

posted in: Bears, Cubs | 1

It happens a lot.  Sometimes, it’s hard to stay focused when you mix everything life throws at you together.  Sometimes everything is good, but the mind still wanders.  Mind wandering is a hobby of mine.

As you could probably guess, my mind wandering hobby overlaps with my Chicago sports obsession.  I could probably write something like this every day.  First thing I was thinking about was jerseys, and when is it appropriate to wear one.

One of my favorite recent movies is Silver Lining Playbook; it was just on TNT or TBS, one of the two, this past weekend.  They are huge Eagles fans in the movie; it may not be the perfect time to bring up the Eagles, considering the Bears Monday night opponent.  Eagles is the team name of my son’s grammar school too; go figure.  Anyways, Bradley Cooper ends up wearing a Deshaun Jackson jersey to a nice dinner by his friend’s house.  Acceptable?

So I think of myself, and when I wear my jerseys.  It’s pretty much whenever the hell I feel like it.  Take for example last Sunday.  We had an event at my son’s school on Sunday… from 10:30- 12:00.  Yes, this was week 1 of the NFL season.  Thankfully, we are 10 minutes from the school.  So I set the Bears game to record and turned my phone off at noon so I didn’t miss anything or hear anything prior to me not missing anything.  You with me?  Back to the jerseys… I wear one EVERY game day.  And yes this was my son’s first school event, and yes this event directly proceeded church, but it was week 1… gameday… Sunday… so you better believe I wore my Bears jersey to church and to the event afterwards.  Acceptable?

Fast forward to today.  Yes, I’m writing my Sunday post on Monday… common practice nowadays.  It’s Monday Night Football and the Bears are playing.  It’s gameday!  Yes, I have to go to work, but no, I don’t have any in person meetings with clients, etc.  So… yep, the Dick Butkus jersey was the choice this morning, and yes, I saved myself some early AM ironing too.  Acceptable?

The Cubs playoff season is 2 weeks away.  You think I’ll be wearing some jerseys to church and work during these games?  One game is on my mother’s birthday.  If we have dinner, you think I won’t wear my Cubs jersey to dinner.  You must not know who you’re talking to.

Is it tacky?  Is it a fashion no-no?  It is unprofessional for work, or not proper for church, or a nice dinner?  The answer to all of those questions may be yes, but guess what…  yep, it’s all good!

OK, let me reel myself back in.  I could get lost down this path… all those thoughts racing through my head.  Stay focused.  Get back to it.  It’s game day for God’s sake!  Let me start that 40 minute stopwatch and get the heck out of here.  Bear Down!
