My son, who was in Chicago when my beloved Cubbies won the World Series, sent copies of the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times from the morning after they had won, as well as a “W” flag and a World Series Cubbies hat.
Do I have a great son, or what?
Looking at them tonight, it occurs to me that it’s yet another reason to absolutely despise what’s happening politically in this country.
As much joy as I had with my beloved Cubbies winning, that joy has been tainted, tarnished, and diminished by the fact that I’m so full of angst and anger.
I just hope we have an opening day next spring so that the Cubbies can get their rings and have that celebration. I really, really hope that the existential crisis that we’re in has passed, or at least let up, to the point where we can enjoy that celebration and rite of spring.
I don’t know that I would bet on it right now. I’ll be so, so happy next April if I can look back on this and laugh at how wrong I was.
I hope. Still.
We Love The Stars Too Fondly 
The Cubs win the World Series, then Donald Trump wins the Presidency and you don’t see a correlation? It’s the end of the world as we know it…and I feel fine. :-}
