Greetings from Europe! I meant to post before I left that I’d be out of the country for three weeks in September, but things got busy. I’m currently in Madrid for the opening of my S.O.’s play. Previews have been wonderful and tonight is the official opening. You can tell it’s a good play when I enjoy it and I don’t understand Spanish. My S.O. has been doing a lot of PR for the play since we landed on Monday. He’s worn his Cubs hat for many newspaper and radio interviews and even for a web video interview. A piece of the Cubs has been with us daily. Next we head to France and Belgium.

Doesn’t look like I’ll have to be checking the Cubs’ site daily to see where they are in the pennant race. I was hoping that my absence might give them the kick they needed to turn things around, but it doesn’t look like anything is going to get them into the playoffs this season. The Cards aren’t going to collapse and the wildcard is just too crowded. At least I can shop more comfortably in Europe knowing that I don’t need to pay for playoff tickets.

By the way, to anyone trolling the site and thinking about breaking into my home while I”m gone, I have a house sitter staying at my place. That and my two attack cats should give you pause. I just wanted to post and let my readers know why I won’t be posting until the end of September. I haven’t giving up on my Cubs, at least as far as writing my blog goes. What is it they say about next year?
