Once-upon-a-time Cardinals blogger, now a more casual fan. Celiac perpetually searching for good gluten-free beer. Sunsets and the Mississippi River, and takings pics of either or both, make me happy.

I have an idea for saving humanity that we haven’t tried yet: put women in charge.

Heidi Stevens: The joy from the Chicago Bears’ run is about more than football. It’s remembering what we share. Sports β€” along with art, books and nature β€” are not just distractions; they’re paths to understanding one another, writes Heidi Stevens.

Column: We need things that remind us we’re all part of the same story. The one we’re still writing.

The Bears unexpected season has made me watch them regularly again, so thank you to your Broncos for your win!

I’m just across the Mississippi River in the Illinois Quad Cities … and getting ready. Grocery store was much less crazy than I was expecting!

Same here in western Illinois, and no as well. Though I saw on FB someone post a screenshot of a winter storm warning for lake-effect snow coming to Chicago tonight and tomorrow β€” hopefully you will still be in suburbia for a while!

I am already looking forward to your spring Wrigleyville sunset pics!

Shouldn’t it be CST for tomorrow? We’re going back to standard time, right? Of course it will just be terrible regardless with the early darkness!

That’s a winner for the #stlcards β€” and a very rare game I actually was able to watch! And, of course, always extra good to beat the Cubs.

It seems like it’s come up a lot more this year, though.

I have been having knee issues lately (arthritis … yay for being a fiftysomething) and haven’t slept well the past several nights β€” but after seeing your post this morning bought some pain patches. Just the type of influencer you want to be, right? πŸ˜„

I remember Matt Morris saying after that game something along the lines of without him, none of Albert’s heroics that day would have mattered!

Today's the All-Star Game but also the birthday of former #STLCards player (1962-1970) & broadcaster (1971-2021) Mike Shannon. Mike was the Voice of Summer for many fans over the decades, and we dearly miss him. Crack a cold, frosty one & raise it to the Moon Man tonight, friends. 🍺⚾️

I used to have spring allergies, but now they seem to go from spring until fall. I am mad too.

Yes sir! It’s a close tie between the number of times I’ve rewatched that game and Game 6 of that World Series.

The 2011 NLCS, a mostly forgotten series in between the memorable NLDS against the Phillies and of course that incredible World Series. A means to the championship trophy end!

Glad the Cards still do this, and how amazing for you to still be blogging and podcasting! Enjoyed reading about this year’s, but definitely appreciated the link to what you wrote about the first one! What a trip down memory lane. And I still am not a fan of Jim Hayes 😝

That is so lovely! I have heard that call on occasion in my neighborhood (in Quad Cities), but did not know what it was. So glad to now know.
