the thing about the cubs and pagan pride

Oh please. The cubs can have the pinata as long as the Brew Crew gets the pennant.

The thing about Cubs fans...some Cubs fans anyway...is that they're not Cubs fans cuz they live in Chicago or they grew up there or their grandparents live there so when they were younger they used to go to Wrigley field all the time or they were a cub scout or they just really like cute little fuzzy bears. No. They're Cubs fans because it's COOL to like the Cubs. Like it's cool to like the Packers. Everywhere you go you see people wearing Packers stuff. Or cars with Packers bumper stickers. Cars with Virginia, Texas, even Chihuahua license plates with Packers and Cubs bumper stickers. Why? What is the draw to the Cubs?

(Oh...one draw to the Cubs is the fact that Mark Cuban might buy them. He's yummy, and part of the reason I love the Mavericks. So if that's your reason, I've got one word for you: understood.)

As of right now, the Brewers are a game ahead. I realize anything can happen with 20+ games left in the season, but I'm pulling for Milwaukee. I might be a fair weather Packer fan, but I'm a Brewer fan through and through.

Today Thais and the 10 year-olds and I ended up at Pagan Pride. Zack thought we said "pigeon" pride and was all set to worship birds. We looked at crystals and soaps and jewelry, bought beautiful clothes and essential oils, walked through a labyrinth, and had our tarot cards read. It was all very spiritually enlightening and cool.

Quote of the day: "You are traveling soon, and you are traveling to escape. But you cannot escape." ---the tarot card reader. Yeah, right. Watch me escape.

Michaela being all tough with a sword (right after that, the swordsman had to ask Zack to carefully put the biggest one back on the table before he hurt someone)




A goat named Marble...I have no idea why there were goats there, but they were quite cute

You dared to compare the Cubs with the packers? Pleaze....

And your analogy of why the cubs suck sucks. Thats like me saying "You know, the thing that sucks abut people who like the southwest, except those that grew up here and have parents that took them out to the mountains, and grandparents who coked traditional foods,etc, is that they just lke it becasue it's cool, not for any valid reason."

Go home, Midwesterner.
