Dear Mrs. Higgins,
How was your weekend? Did you catch the Cubs game last night?
Me either. That’s because it wasn’t televised - at least not downstate.
I spent the entire afternoon reclaiming my kitchen and office. Some people clean, some organize, some reclaim - not unlike turning a landfill into a city park. Anyway I’m Suzie Homemaker for 7 or 8 hours and decide I’d like to do a little something more conducive to my gender.
The Cubs/Astros game got moved to Miller Park in Milwaukee on account of Ike kinda changing agendas in Houston, and WGN was queued up to broadcast starting at 7.
I sit down at 7:15, snap an Old Style, and get ready to watch….Bob Newhart. No kidding. Bob Newhart.
Zambrano is throwing the first no-hitter for the franchise in 36 years and I’m watching Bob Freakin Newhart. I should have stayed on that channel - maybe I could have caught a couple Mary Tyler Moore episodes as well.
Oh well, tomorrow night they play the Brewers. Maybe I’ll get to see a little of that one - or maybe the Partridge Family.
Stay in touch,
Mike
Dear Mike,
You’re incredible. Your Cubbies are 7 and a half up in mid September and you ain’t happy. You got a short memory, boy.
Glad to year you’re cleanin up the house a little. Doesn’t hurt you to do some real work for a change. You may want to do a little mowing sometime too - pretty sure the neighbors are getting a petition going - again.
Be glad for what you got,
Mrs H
