“Accept whatever happens to you, and be patient in humiliating vicissitudes.” – Ben Sira
It’s always awkward when you are out with a new significant other and you run into somebody who used to hold a similarly special place in your heart. It further complicates matters if the current betrothed happens to be friends with the ex. Such was the state of affairs when the Cubs, under new manager David Ross, played the Angels yesterday and bumped in to Anaheim’s new skipper, Joe Maddon.
I figured Maddon would wax poetic with an idiom or two, and that he would make some kind of passive-aggressive comment about his former bosses and the organization that employed him during the previous five seasons.
