Well today is a sad day for Bears fans. What started out looking very promising with Hester's kickoff return for a touchdown, turned into a big disappointment as the Bears handed the ball over to the Colts five times, couldn't get anything going on offense, and really couldn't stop the Colt's drives. So now we Chicago fans enter the all too familiar land of "next year". "Next year" it will be the Bears recovering five turnovers. "Next year" it will be a matured Grossman that connects for a string of first downs. "Next year" it will be the Bears running back interceptions for scores. The land of "next year" always holds so much promise for us often disappointed Chicago fans, but "next year" does look good for the monsters of the midway.
On a positive note, after entering what could be a rough day as a Bears fan, I am experiencing the Best day as a teacher. Today is one of those days where you are really thankful you chose the career path of education. At 3:00 this morning I got the call... School is canceled! They have actually deemed it too cold here in the Midwest for school to meet, with a temperature of 4 degrees and a windchill that makes it feel like -20. Though, Brian and I both say this is nothing compared to Minnesota weather. You haven't experienced cold, until you've experienced Minnesota cold, where your insides literally hurt to be outside. If they canceled school for weather like this in Minnesota, we wouldn't have met for all of January. But I am not complaining with this cancellation by any means, as I sit here still in my pajamas wondering what to do with this "free" day, and thouroughly enjoying one of the very best added bonuses of my profession.
