on the flight out here i sat next to a kid who wore sandals

two probs with wearing sandals on a flight from LA to Chicago. the first being its been raining for a week straight in LA, so his feet had to be wet and cold.

the second being theres 4 inches of snow in chicago and it’s about 39 degrees.

needless to say we didnt talk because ive met my annual quota of talking to crazy people.

which brings us to chicagoland grocery store Dominick’s who has a large assortment of gift cards.

i noticed gift cards for Sox, Bears, Bulls, even the soccer team the Fire was represented. but where are the world champion Chicago Blackhawks or the beloved Chicago Cubs?

my mom told me: they are always sold out of Cubs and Hawks stuff. any store, anywhere. people love them.

and with that answer i love her that much more.
