This year, a century ends

Although the still ice covered lake outside the window would indicate otherwise (to say nothing of the 6-8 inches of snow predicted for today), today is the season opener for baseball. It is also the beginning of the hundred year anniversary year of the last time my beloved Cubs won it all.

I welcome this unofficial first day of summer wearing my faded and torn Cubs cap from the soul shattering 1984 campaign. In this summer of Hope, I Believe.

Go Cubs!
