Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I had to make a bit of an emergency trip to Florida to help an ailing relative.

3500+ miles later, I'm back.

It was difficult following the Cubs in Florida. The West Coast games (starting at 10pm Florida time) resulted in no game reports in the next day's USA Today.

Comcast Sports Chicago isn't available there, and even finding a game on the radio was unlikely. I couldn't get in WGN-AM there.

WGN-TV was available there, but some of the cable systems really need to tune it in better.

Ronnie the Collie was put to work as a therapy dog, meeting people at three nursing homes / rehab facilities while we were there.

So, did I miss anything?

I have a hunch the Cubbies haven't done well during my trip.

My Cardinal fan pastor emailed me this joke:

By the way, do you know why the Cub players can't use the internet? Because they can't put three "W" together.

Oh, I did notice that someone mentioned my blog (with a funny comment) at the BleedCubbieBlue.com website. Thanks for the kind words!

And my dad sent me an article from the Wall Street Journal which mentions the Wrigley Field experience...

I don't have a url for the article, but you could probably find it at the local library if you want to.
