I'm crazy. I love the Cubs. I have to admit, though, I'm just not quite there this season. We've (Chicago) had games cancelled because of snow and cold just about a week ago? Plus, I live with two White Sox fans and, for the amount of game-watching I actually do, I'm way outnumbered. They've already been to a Sox game (granted, it was about 40 degrees and I think they may be crazier than me).
Anyway, I am excited about Lou Piniella. I'm hoping he'll get some much needed drive into this team. My aunt is living her dream as a 68-year old usher at Wrigley Field and a lifelong fan. She deserves to see a great season.
Will you at least be able to go to some single games this year? I love going to watch games - well, when it's much warmer than 40 degrees (so you've got that going for you).
I was surprised to see your post to me. Very pleasantly surprised. Serendipity, right? :-)
You're so sweet and kind. I think I don't tell you that often enough.

Thanks for thinking of me.
Your friend in watching...not playing (the very thought makes me want to run - well, drive, I'm not at all athletic - to the nearest book or shoe store for some afternoon shopping)...baseball,
Laurie
