Life is good and sweet and all things in between

GO WHITE SOX. I must admit there was just a little personal vendetta involved (and not worth mentioning) but I am so happy to see Sweaty Freddy and Ozzie and all the good boys from the South Side beat the Aristocrats, the anything but blue-collar these days Red Sox. It's our turn now. I love seeing all these sportscasters saying the Sox 14-2 first game win was nothing but a fluke. 7 games in a row we've won now...onto (hopefully) a sweep of the Yankees. Everyone keeps telling me that any team from California is our kryptonite. Here's hoping. The city. The south side deserve this.

Interesting day today. Talked lots about Studs Terkel in class, mentioned my main man James Tuohy (a chicago landmark writer who I met recently and upon our introduction immediately treated me like a granddaughter he had loved his entire life), watched the Sox games with some new friends from grad school at Exchequer (it's right around the corner and the jerk from Miller's Pub wouldn't let us sit at a table!!!).

All-in-all I'm ecstatic with the Sox wins and tired to the bone in every other way. Promise to be witty and adorable soon.
