I like to stay flexible.


When pledging allegiance. It ain’t necessarily to my country.  Most days, other things come first and foremost. The Chicago Cubs baseball team. My cat Marcello. And my Italian true love, Cristina. I would live and die for them. Before sacrificing my life for a country. Might as well be honest about it. These are my operating priorities. I suspect. That many of us. Have similar kinds of priorities. We don’t put being a patriotic American first.  Yes, I confess. I’m a strange guy. A lover. A dreamer. Truly living my fantasies. These are the things. Most important to me. At the moment. Of course, that could all change. Later today or tomorrow. I like to stay flexible. When it comes to pledging allegiance. --Jim Broede
