Sitting here on my balcony with a light breeze and an overcast sky. It is the last Sunday of Summer and the leaves are showing their wear and tear.
Last week I took out the worn out summer annuals and replaced them with mums and autumnal colors. Maybe a silver lining is this longer summer into October? It gives me a second crop of flowers for the JumboBalcony.
I made my coffee in a French press this morning. So I’m a fancy fuck sitting up here throwing nuts at squirrels.
Tonight the Chicago Bears meet the Greenbay Packers up in Lambeau Field. I use to hate the Packers, but with wear and tear on me through the years I can give two shits.
But still….. Go Bears!
You’d be surprised how many Packer families live in Chicagoland. My dad always said they are the remnants of the old Chicago Cardinals. Old man Halas ran the Cardinals out of town after the 1959 Season. Since the Bears were the only team in town the Cardinal fans switch allegiance to the Packers. That’s how much Halas was hated.
My dad grew up a Cardinal football fan, but by the time I showed up he gave two shits. He did root for the Baltimore Colts as well. Seems like Don Shepley is the common denominator for teams that leave their original homes.
The Bears are a horseshit organization run by a dysfunctional family. The only thing that keeps me emotionally tied are the memories of Dick Butkus and Walter Payton.
So I guess I’m living in the past!
Enjoy your Sunday Funday and sing it loud, sing it proud……
Bear down, Chicago Bears
Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear down, Chicago Bears
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation
With your 'T' formation
Bear down, Chicago Bears
And let 'em know why you're wearing the crown
You're the pride and joy of Illinois
Chicago Bears, bear down!
