today is National Kissing Day, so let’s rejoice

me jeanine and welch kissingmy first kiss: Angela Romano in 6th grade after a fortuitious spin the bottle turn. We went into the bathroom, turned off the lights, and bumped heads. We turned back on the lights, repositioned, turned off the lights and whammo! my life was changed forever.

a couple of summers later i kissed sisters. first Diane at the pool then her sister Heather at a party about a week later. when it rains it pours.

my first time kissing a girlfriend was mary. i needed to build up courage so i waited for something good to play on the car radio. when Tom Petty’s “Breakdown” came on, it was game on.

there was a time when the cubs could barely justify one all star

kunta

yesterday it was announced that they would be sending SEVEN Cubs to San Dieger

next week for the All Star Game:

their entire infield, their center fielder

and their two best pitchers.

in a perfect world id be going too, but tickets are ridiculously expensive.

and also i hate san diego and i hope if falls into the sea.

and also they are making the players wear uniforms reminiscent of the 1984 Padres

which is on top of my list of reasons for hating san diego

and hoping it sinks into a sweaty goob of magma.

but still i would love to go to the game but

i will instead watch it on tv

like a proper american

without having to leave my humble abode.

(still sorta hoping for magma)
