SuperBowl Sunday

As we approach Super Bowl Sunday I am homesick. I miss Chicago so much right now it makes my heart actually physically ache. I miss Barrington and the Metra. I miss my friends, every single one of them which includes a gosh damn lot of people. And I miss the city. I sat in a bar today, in Big Fork MT. and was happy as I read the sports section. I laughed when I read about the celebration of spirits being lifted all due to the Super Bowl. People are saying, "Go Bears" everywhere and it's great! I smile at the times I have spent in the city with friends and family. I smile when I think of the culture surronding Chicago and the burbs. Here, life is different. Not bad, just different. I miss familiarity and knowing there are 22 places I can go Sunday to watch the CHICAGO Bears win the Super Bowl, while here there are 2. Anna moved here on Sunday. I can go see her and Stephen...8 hours away. I can go with Mike to some random strangers home, cause he's a huge Bears fan. I guess, even though I am NOT nor have ever been a Bears fan, this makes things all the more confusing to me. But, as most wagon jumpers do, I am hopping on to say I hope that they win big on Sunday. Cause I love David and Mike and I love Chicago. You never know where life will take you. You never know what tradegy or celebration will mold you into a circle you thought you had left behind. That's how I felt today sitting in a bar in Big Fork, MT. Melded into a ball of Bear's fans. Or in my case, a fan of the fans. INTERERSTING...just wanted to share.
