I have struggled this week about what to write about here on my blog. Well, struggled might be too extreme—let’s just say I have been pondering the appropriate topic all week. I could write about how the top of my head almost blew off when NBC hired Ronna McDaniel as a news commentator (at the price of $ 300,000 per year); surely this can’t be true. It is. Or I could write about the continuing saga of a Congress that can’t seem to fund the government and continues to think it is okay to rob the poor to benefit the rich. All these news events are ones that should concern even the most apathetic of us.
Ah, well, I am a fan of three sports: Carolina football, the Chicago Cubs baseball, and UNC
basketball. The Cubs are the only sport I can watch with my husband. You have heard us say we aren't baseball fans, we are Cubs fans. Before we retired we traveled all over the National League Central to watch them play (Chicago, Atlanta, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Washington DC) and knew most of the names of the team (Wood, Sosa, Grace, Sandburg, Zambrano, Maddux, etc).
Carolina football: I went to law school with Chris Kupec (now a big-time Charlotte attorney) and I followed Matt Kupec and Mark Maye.
Now I am enjoying the heck out of Tarheel basketball and, like Jeanne, I know their names. My college roommate Lisa and I live 240 miles apart but nothing can keep us from watching the games and keeping up a running reaction to the game by text message!
