I have a bunch of errands to do today, so no time for a proper column. But I’m pleased to announce that our parody songmeister Tom Latourette is back with a Cubs epic, “My Cubs (I’m Not Betting Against . . . ). A lot of golden lines in there – and some fine vocal performances!
Also, how cool is the town of Casey, Illinois? This is new to me. (My favorite is the giant mailbox, in part because you can go up inside it and look out over . . . well, not much, because it’s Casey, but still.)
More later.
