Llurse, I read with interest the maturation of your loyalties. Oh, and since you have joined the Super Bowl discussion, I assume you don't mind the hyjack. For Bob et al, consider this PB writing prose.
I don't begrudge others their allegences or their distain for the City of Big Shoulders. All I know is for some reason, not unlike the cathartic revenge many feel with an execution, I get vicarious, orgasmic elation from the success of my team, from the city of my birth, the region of my education - both cerebral and carnal, the land of my marriage and birthplace of my progeny, the region of my career, the air of my first breath and likely my last, the home of the Bears.
Whether you associate this part of the world with the brutality of Al Capone, the courage of Clarence Darrow, the vision of Frank Lloyd Wright, the compassion of a Jane Addams, the imagination of a Walt Disney, or the strong images of Ernest Hemmingway, I hope, for me and for this weekend anyway, we will be associatiing this great city with the World Champion Chicago Bears.
