I got to reminiscing today....randomly, the Chicago Bears came to mind. And I realized I miss football season. I don't think anyone truly knows what it's like to be a Bears fan unless they live here from September to February. It's like rooting for the only 50 year old who is on a team of youngsters-you want him to do well so badly because you've loved him for so long, yet you know in the back of your mind it's time to throw in the towel-disappointment is inevitable.

Bears fans are unlike any other kind of fans. Loyal to a fault and wise to their game. I remember on Superbowl Sunday going to Jewel to get last minute groceries and everyone was chanting "BEAR DOWN, CHICAGO BEARS!"-It was magical.

So while I'm loving Summer & the hot tan I'm acquiring, I can't help but look forward to dreary Fall-and carrying on with Sunday football games.
