When I was growing up, and we were always watching baseball, the Chicago Cubs, of course, our hero was Ernie Banks....a fine player, an even finer human being...he played for a team, that was always lousy, the Cubs lost more than they won, yet Ernie hung in there, encouraging us all to the all too familiar north side of Chicago chant 'Just you wait until next year'....

Ernie had the respect and love of all of Chicago, in a seemmingly fruitless quest to propell the Chicago Cubs to a pennant race...he did not whine about the Cubs always losing, he did not act like a star, he never made near the money that todays players make...

But he loved baseball, played like he loved baseball, and he loved the fans, and the fans loved him...I think that about says it all...

Well, my tootsies are beginning to throb again, the pain meds have worn off, time to take some more...and then pass out...I have no tolerance for most meds, so when I have to take them I often just fall asleep...

So, I suppose its time for me to go...Dizzy is standing in the hall, watching me, and I know, just trying to time his nagging meowing along with my decision to get off the computer..

After all the kitty cat must have his personal attention and lots of kitty snacks, along with the obligatory kitty praise, about what a handsome and delightful fellow he is...my goodness, how we spoil our furry children...

Nitey nite all, see ya all tomorrow...
