"Sports is life with the volume up. The friendships in sports are fused more tightly than in most other places. The laughter is louder, the jokes funnier, the pain sharper, the nights later, the lows lower. Athletics teach us that life, although unpredictable, is something we can deal with. A team nods when it wins and shrugs when it loses and wakes up to a new and different game each day."
— Mark Whicker, sports columnist
Sports have played an important part in my life... When I was young, there were the Cubs games I'd watch or listen to with my dad, the junior bowling leagues I belonged to, the school basketball games that I cheered for, the Black Hawk games I watched with my high school sweetheart, the tennis I'd play with my sister-in-law...and then came the countless hours I spent as an adult/wife/mom... and that I hope to once again enjoy as my grandkids grow old enough to become involved in sports. My kids' dad was a jock in high school, and even though he had to give up his beloved basketball and baseball due to health concerns, our kids were always participating in one sport or another. Baseball, football, bowling, basketball - I can remember weeks when we'd have 8 or 9 games to attend and schedules to make and treats to arrange. Not to mention all the games we'd watch on TV or attend in person. I think I like hockey and basketball games the best when it comes to actually being there, but I enjoy most sports. Must make up for my lack of prowess when it comes to participating!
So for those of you who love sports, or love someone who loves sports, this one's for you! Go Team :)
