But some of us don’t have a choice where, or even if, we get to play all day. And it’s tax day, and shame on you if you haven’t done yours yet! I don’t know about you, but where we live, it’s oh-so-nice out – I’m talking 80° weather! But you might be stuck inside […]

GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!! Well, I just went to check my countdown timer on my blog site; it should say there are mere hours left until the Chicago Cubs open their 2010 season… but I can’t find the countdown timer on my site. And I can’t find it in the widgets section either.

Back in 1999, when I was expecting our first child, I remember having the WGN Chicago news at noon on the tv in our teeny-tiny downtown (Rockford Illinois) apartment. I was in the (hallway of a) kitchen making lunch, when I heard a long screech of tires coming from the tv. The fact that I
