No heartbreak for me.

I watched a baseball game sporadically tonight. Went into extra innings, and lasted for 6½ hours. Incredibly long. It was a play-off game between San Francisco and Washington – teams that play in the same league as my dear Chicago Cubs. So many tense moments for diehard fans of either team. Anyway, it made me appreciate that the Cubs didn’t make it to the playoffs. If they had been one of those two teams, I’d have been a nervous wreck. And if the Cubs had lost, I’d be in the doldrums. Better that the Washington fans feel bad. They lost a heartbreaker, 2-1, in 18 innings. Of course, it didn’t break my heart. I didn’t care which team won. I just enjoyed the game of baseball, minus the Cubs. No heartbreak for me. --Jim Broede
