Cubs win, Cubs win!- September 29, 2007 Yesterday, I was a mess but last night as I followed the Brewers game on the train home, I started to relax. The Cubs are in the playoffs for the first time since 2003. I don't bring that year up too often, it's still painful.

For me this year, it's also time for one chapter of my life to end and get ready for the next one to begin. Today is my last day at EarthLink. It's actually the third time I've had a last day here which is pretty funny. I have a feeling though, there won't be a fourth one.
