Horrible Plot Twist: Cubs Lose Third Game. :(

This week was crazy busy, but I did manage to make progress on the anthology.  I found a fresh pair of eyes to look at "Wolf Trek"; I can't wait for that input.  Also, yesterday, I texted the editor.  I think he is so busy, he can't work on this project, which makes me utterly sad!  That is a terrible plot twist, when everything seemed so certain. 

Just in case, I have someone else in mind who would probably do the work for free, even though I will pay her.  I need the editor not only to catch those pernicious typos, but to be familiar with U.S. Latin American literature.  Still, I don't want to give up on my first choice because he is great at his craft, and frankly, I trust his judgement. 

On another awful, awful turn of events, the Cubs lost their third game last night 0-1.  I was with my family at Dave and Busters, and the joy when they made a double-play was tangible!  Everybody was cheering and so happy.  Short of the World Cup, this was one of the best shared experiences I have had with other fans.  I am definitely watching the next game somewhere fun for the whole family (not near Wrigley Field because the vultures are charging an unconscionable amount, those fuckers).

I am glad we had to drive home before the end of the game.  It was rather late, and my kids were really tired.  Still, the playoffs are not over, so I am hoping for a heroic victory from our beloved Cubs!

My son, Antonio, rooting for the Cubs.

Here's to those unexpected twists and turns that make everything so interesting, and sometimes sad.
