CUBS go to the World Series. The last time that a person could have made this declarative statement would have been 71 years ago. The Chicago Cubs made it look easy in Game 6 of their Championship Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. I am willing to bet that Cubs fan felt a bit of unease when the first batter for the Dodgers hit the first pitch for a single to right field. He was immediately 'erased' on the next pitch which resulted in a double play. That was the last time that the Dodgers threatened the Cubs' march to the the World Series. The City of Chicago is buzzing in a way that it has not buzzed before. Every local station interrupted their regular programming to broadcast post game festivities. This has been the biggest even in Chicago since nearly forever. If the Cubs are to fulfill their destiny, they must win four more games agains the Cleveland Indians. Anything less will be a disappointment, but nothing will erase their accomplishment this evening.

Once again, the liberal news media shows their bias! Sports Illustrated predicted the Cubs will win the World Series in the year 2105. The 2016 edition of the Chicago Cubs will have the opportunity to improve the timeline of this prediction if they can win four games in the coming week against the Cleveland Indians.

| Comedy legend, Bill Murray proudly wearing a T-Shirt during the Cubs Playoffs with the slogan: I ain't afraid of no goat. This of course, is referencing the curse that has afflicted the Cubs for nearly a century, and a reference to hilarious film, Ghostbusters, from the 1980's. |

This photo is so obviously a fake! Everyone knows that when the Chicago Cubs last won the World Series, the brand-new 1908 Ford Model T's were already flying out of automobile showrooms across America! There now remains a good chance that the next World Series parade will be within 10 days! Preparations are already underway...The City of Chicago has had 108 years to plan for this event.

| I timed my 97 minutes elliptical machine workout with the start of the Cubs Game, so instead of passively sitting on the couch and watching the game, I was burning some calories. |
I accumulated steps by walking in place during the day while working the concession stand at a Northwestern NCAA Football Game as a volunteer with the High School Cheerleaders from Payton College Prep High School. The Cheerleading Squad and three adult volunteers earned money for the high school Booster Club as we received a percentage of all the sales (and all the tips) during the Saturday afternoon game. Everyone worked very hard, to keep the lines short and moving. It was great fun. No hiking on Saturday, but plenty of activity, including a 97 minute workout on the elliptical machine.

| We did not sell all these items at our concession stand... Among our sales, we sold over 300 Hot Dogs and nearly 200 cups of Hot Chocolate. None of the Payton Cheerleaders will be candidates for the US Post Office - they were much too efficient, worked too quickly and expressed gratitude to their customers. Those three attributes disqualify anyone for government work, and particularly for the Postal Department! |

| Perhaps soon, Cubs fan will be able to sing along...! |

| I wonder how many of these were required to buy a beer at Wrigley Field during the last World Series game? |
