So I’m sitting here thinking about all of the horrible things that can happen here in America and abroad with Trump’s cabinet choices for USAG and CIA head spook. In the midst of my fears, it occurred that there IS a tiny silver lining:
These guys are no longer gonna be IN CONGRESS. New faces in the Senate and House…even if they are GOP…should be a good thing. Term limits would be an even better thing. #TermLimits #jfs

Dear Voters or whomever get’s to decide these things: Please replace Jeff Sessions and Mike Pompeo with more moderate choices who are more in touch with what people actually feel. Preying on our fears, prejudice and religious intolerance is not what we deserve in our Congressional representation. Thanks. #gomh

Last one. Promise. I’m done after this.
-> I told you so.

It’s OVER. We may not like the outcome.Things don’t always work out the way we want them to. Hell, we may be completely fucked now…or maybe it won’t be so bad. Time will only tell #GodHelpUs

But it’s fucking over. No more Obama lethargy. The end of the Hillary lies. No more gridlock…the stagnation in Congress is over. The GOP are going to town and we all gotta bend over, grab our ankles and kiss the past goodbye.

Welcome to the NEW America, built on GOP Racism and Fear. Land of the Free (if you’re rich enough to buy it) and home the Brave (the rest of us, other than the pussies who actually move to Canada).

I just hope you’re ready for the revolution, because it’s coming one way or another…There was never an easy way, but a bunch of you idiots just decided it we should do it the REALLY hard way. And if Trump’s campaign was any measure, I would not expect it to be the most peaceful way either. #jfs #election2016 #gomh

It’s a dark day in America.
Some of you “patriots” have decided to elect the Orange Faced Beast to lead us. The rest of us are now preparing to be victims for at least the next 4 years. At best, vIctims of short-sighted and inexperienced leadership. At worst…well, let’s not even go there. Picturing “The Worst” with President Trump at the helm is a never ending, infinite spiral of anxiety, stress, and mental anguish. #jfs #gomh

HEY…why aren’t they reporting any results for Giant Meteor?
The Election is RIGGED! #jfs #election2016 #gomh

When I was like 6 or 7, I went to my first baseball game…at Wrigley Field, Chicago…1960-something. Fergie Jenkins took the mound at the top of the 1st, and I saw all my heros take their places around the diamond…Banks on first, Beckett on 2nd, Kessinger at Short, Santo on 3rd. Billy Williams ran out to Center Field, as Randy Hundley squatted into place behind the plate to warm up the future Hall of Fame, All Star pitcher.

I know it was a day game…there were no lights at Wrigley yet, so they all were day games. But, I don’t remember much else about who won the game (or even who they played that day) to tell you the truth. I wasn’t there to see the Cubs win, I was just there to see them PLAY.

I listened to every game they played that summer, on a little red AM radio my Aunt Jinnie had given me as a get-well gift (I got hit by a car in kindergarten, and spent a couple days home sick due to the resulting concussion). I had baseball cards with all their players pictures, but most games weren’t on TV yet, and I imagined each game thru the eyes of The Voice on the radio…Harry Carey I think…as I listened to the play-by-play….every afternoon, all summer long. It was everything that I thought about. Baseball. The Cubs.

Then that day arrived, and I was finally there at The Show! Wrigley Field!!

I kept line score in the program, and I’m pretty sure my dad bought me a Cubs Pennant that day, which hung on my bedroom wall for years afterwards. I recall a foul ball coming toward me, so close I thought I almost could grab it…before hitting a nun right in her glasses. I still remember feeling bad that she would have to miss the rest of the game.

Now, I know there’s a lot of folks who have been waiting for a Cubs World Championship for a lot longer than I…more die hard fans than I ever was, I’m sure. And yes, I do tend to to be a bit of a NY Mets fan at times, it’s true. But I’ve seen the Mets win a couple times (and lose a few more), and it was great when they won…but not like this.

Because today, I feel like that little kid again! My Cubbies FINALLY pulled one off! A World Series Championship!! YES!!

Long gone from the diamond are the great Cubbies of my youth, but it doesn’t matter. Because now I see it…I’m not just a Cubs fan. No, because I probably wouldn’t be a baseball fan at all, had it not been for that summer, and those Cubs.

Today, I AM that kid again. And I feel just like I remember feeling, as I walked into Wrigley for the first time that day. That first game…I FINALLY got to go to The Show for the First Time.

Today, Baseball itself and The Chicago Cubs, are One. Just like they were at that day at Wrigley. Just like they should be.

Congratulations, and Thank You 2016 Chicago Cubs!
