This is the kind
of Bears’ fan I am. We ran around
yesterday doing all sorts of stuff that could’ve been done today after
church. But who wants to buy pierogi and
rye bread for Christmas Eve when the Bears are playing the Packers at noon?
And how odd that
the Bears should be traveling to Green Bay as underdogs. Demographically speaking, Chicago is Goliath
to Green Bay’s David, and that’s the problem.
The Packers have a David on hand who can aim his slingshot to hit
Goliath and his Midway Monsters right between the eyes. So, underdogs we are.
This is also the
kind of Bears’ fan I am. Opera soprano Renée
Fleming will be appearing in a musical, “The Light in the Piazza,” at the Lyric
Opera. Fleming is a Hall of Famer in her
own right, and we were able to get tickets for December 29th at 1:30
PM…which should be halftime during the Bears-Vikings game. Last game of the regular season with a
playoff berth possibly on the line, and I’m going to a musical.
Of course, Aaron
Rodgers could wield his slingshot this afternoon so as to make game-number
sixteen in the Bears’ schedule irrelevant.
If by some miracle it still should matter, the NFL can always flex a
game with playoff implications to 7 PM, by which time we’d be home. Or I could find out the final score during
intermission at the Lyric.
And if it were
the White Sox needing to win their last game of the season to make the
playoffs, what would I do? Go with my
heart, of course.
