Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

In memory of "CubFanLois," and in honor of my hero Ron Santo, I will not lose my cool over tonight's playoff performance by our boys in blue. However, if the Cubs pull a 2007 implosion again, there is only one thing that will salvage my otherwise annus horribilus.

And if he loses, I'm moving to Sweden or Bali or Scotland or someplace with no professional baseball and no Republicans.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Julie.
