Seth Gecko, the anti-hero protagonist of From Dusk Till Dawn, quipped that “Those acts of God really stick it in and break it off,” and he sure was right about that. Not only was my wife dealing with a potentially life-threatening health scare last week, but I ended up developing a sinus infection before then throwing my back out while cleaning up leaves. My situation isn’t anywhere near as significant as hers; it’s just that we were both laid up and somewhat out of it all weekend.
The good news is that we’re both on the mend and also that the Cubs have done very little of note over the last few days that I might have otherwise missed.
