Cubs, home runs, and cheese!


This photo brings back all sorts of memories from last fall and the World Series. It looks pretty normal at first -- a ball cap and a bag of Cracker Jacks (which I'd consume during every post-season game when the stress got too high).

But if you look carefully, you'll see an empty string cheese wrapper. 

Yep, string cheese. For every home run the Cubs hit, we'd give Freda (our German wire-haired pointer) a stick of string cheese. She was as Cubs-crazy as the rest of us by the time the Cubs won Game 7.

Anyway, I'm back on the couch again, watching the Cubs play the Cards in the opening game. No score, bottom of the second. Cards are threatening. Ugh. Seems weird (wrong!) to have Dexter Fowler on the opposing team.

Before I forget, April 2 is also important for another reason. 86 years ago today, Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Check out the details on www.jeanpatrick.com
