The good 'ol Cubs are driving me crazy. I have been a Cub's fan since I can remember and I should be used to this crap. I have faith, the Cubs will prevail.
A fellow devout Cub's fan, Paul Lawrence,who used to sit in our section at the Iowa Cubs (triple A) passed away last Thursday. His family had a memorial at the ballpark; his ballcap on the back of his seat and Go Cubs Go piped throught the P.A. system. After the ceremony everyone sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame". A few days before he went to the ballpark in the sky he said, "I believe it's their year". Paul, I hope you are right.

Sister Sue Update...
Val and I went to Little Rock over Labor Day weekend and stayed with my sister Sue. Mark flew in and stayed with my other sister Brenda. We had a barbeque on Saturday and the "gang" was all there. My nephews Jeremy & Jeff (Josh couldn't make the trip), my brother Ron, sister Brenda, Sammy (Sue's Hubby), Sammy's brother Bert and Sammy's mother Darlene. You'd think we had planned a family reunion or something. It was great seeing everyone.
Sue is a little thin and stubborn as ever. She finally drank an Ensure just to shut me up. It was amazing that after she drank it she had this burst of energy. I fear she won't drink anymore, can't stand the smell. I wish there was a pill (Lord knows she takes enough already)that would put a few pounds on her. Next trip, Thanksgiving.

Blah, Blah, Blah
Okay, I know I said I was going to keep up with my blogging and I don't have an excuse. Honest, I will really try to do better.

Butter Is Not Just For Eating
Every year the "butter cow" is a main attraction at the Iowa State Fair. Besides the cow there is always something else that gets sculptured in butter. This year it's Shawn Johnson.
Freight Train
This is "Freight Train". He won the Big Boar contest at the Iowa State Fair. He weighed in at a mere 1259 lbs. I am thinking alot of chops from this bad boy. Check out the gonads.

Sister Sue Update
I talked with Sue yesterday and she sounded pretty good. Last week she was feeling pretty crappy but she pulled out of it again. I can't imagine the roller coaster ride Sue & Sammy are on. She is a tough "cookie". Those who read this will know why cookie is in quotes. :O)
