Go Cubs Go!!!!!!

The Pflums are on cloud nine. The boys stepped up and played like true big leaguers last night, clinching the division with a little help from Milwaukee's anemic offense. We're heading out to the game in just a bit, and it should be quite the jovial atmosphere.

Keep it up, Cubbies! Hit 'em where they ain't!

Oh sweet Cubbies...

Apparently the only folks who want to lose the division more than the Cubs are the Brewers....
We'll take it.

Cross your fingers

The Cubbies are making me very nervous. I know, I should spend my worries on the sorry state of US affairs in the world or other more worthy thoughts. And I do worry about these things. The Cubs make me realize that my worry is limitless and that deep down, it's not "just a game." It's a game that I've spent countless hours watching, one that I've devoted a decent portion of my life to obsessing over. A game that, for my team, never really ends well.

So now we're two games up with four games to go, and I'm just hoping that the boys can keep their eyes on the prize. Dave and I are going to Cincinnati this weekend, and we'll see the Cubs play the Reds on Saturday. Maybe we'll see them clinch the division, maybe we'll go home crying. Either way, I'll keep watching because I love these guys, and true love last a lifetime.

So send your good ju-ju to the Cubbies! They can use every bit of it.

Get better soon, Dad!

Well, my dad had his knee surgery today, and he's coming through it like a champ. Just a few short hours after the surgery, he's already feeling good and getting ready to heal. Cara's on her way there now, and I'll be going up there after she leaves Sunday. If I know Dad, he'll be ready for us to leave him alone by the time I come back.

Way to go, Dad! Keep up the good work.

Go Cubbies!!

Wow! The Cubs had a great 9th inning win last night against the Reds- Dave and I were so excited that we couldn't fall asleep. This is shaping up to be quite an interesting year. Cross your fingers!

BTW- We won all three games in volleyball on Friday. The pic (courtesy of our head cheerleader, Cara) is from our post game celebration.

Weekend again!

Happy New Year to the Jews in my life. In the spirit of the week, I'd like to use the blog to issue a blanket apology for all of my misdeeds during past year.... probably not what the rabbinical scholars had in mind, but it's a new age!

We've had a great week, complete with meeting some new friends. Cara's coming tonight for the weekend, so the fun continues.

So I have a topic that interests me to discuss. If there are any plastic surgeon readers, I could use your input now. Yesterday, Pamela Anderson was on the Ellen show. For those of you not interested in the Hollywood scene, a pic of Pam is attached here. Here's my question- are breast implants lighter in weight than regular breast tissue? If so, I can see how Pam can still walk with those enormous boobs. If not, she is a miracle of science and should be studied. Ladies, you've got to be with me on this one. We can barely carry around our C cups all day. What gives? BTW- it really disturbs me that this woman has the same moniker as my mother-in-law. But hey, I share my first name with Dr. Laura Schlessinger, my second least favorite woman behind Ann Coulter. These things happen.

I'm a bad blogger....

I have been remiss in my blogging recently, and I apologize for my laziness. Let's see... in the past couple of weeks, we have been pretty busy. We went to South Bend for Labor Day weekend, and had a great time with family and friends. We enjoyed the Notre Dame tailgating even though ND got whooped by Georgia Tech and we have no effective offense in the forseeable future. Navy, this could be the year to pull off your big upset.

Most of our days and nights have been consumed by watching and thinking about sports- namely baseball, football, and this week, tennis. Usually I'm pretty darn sick of watching the Cubbies by this point in the season and I can't wait for the misery to be over. This year, however, our boys are trying to hold onto a division lead that never seems to get beyond a half game. Scary stuff! So we've gotta watch every game we can and send all of our good ju-ju their way.

Tonight we have volleyball again- I may not have mentioned this recently, but our team is pretty good! Then tomorrow we're off to Bloomington to cheer on our friend Paul who is running in a mini-marathon there. I'm sure we'll take in some lunch at Nicks afterward, then Paul's coming back here with us to hang out. Such fun!

Have a great weekend everyone!
