Hello friends. It is a good day for anyone born north of the Mason-Dixon line of Chicago baseball fandom. Even though I wouldn’t consider myself a die-hard fan, it was pretty awesome watching the Cubs win the World Series last night. But that wasn’t the only enjoyable thing that happened last night!
DC is the most transient town in America, so it’s easy to find a ton of other folks from your hometown. And since this town is tight as hell when it comes to socializing (politician, lobbyist, government worker or journalist, we all love booze, food and sex in some order). So when I decided to host a get together for Game 7 with other Cubs loyalists, it didn’t take long to fill my small apartment. Most of the people were guys and gals I’d met working here, but there was one old friend I reached out to.
