Grateful. For what I've got.

The Chicago Cubs. Have clinched a berth. In the National League play-offs. For the first time since 2008. Indeed, quite a feat. For a team that finished in last place a year ago. Believe it or not, the Cubs have a chance. To go from worst. To first. All the way to the World Series. I'm elated. Happy as can be. But even if the Cubs don't go all the way. I'll settle. Happily. For merely having qualified for the play-offs. Yes, I'm the sort of guy. That if I had $1 million. I'd not be disappointed. Because I don't have $2 million. I'd be grateful. For what I've got. --Jim Broede
