Homesick

I've never felt homesick until now: The Chicago White SOX are in the World Series and I am far away. In a land where not only is Baseball a joke, but the idea of one nation claiming their final matches of their "favorite pastime" as the WORLD series is more than laughable.

True, I am a cubs fan, but I am happy to see any team of Chicago rise to greatness.

All I have here is this

I'm sending you my version of "London Homesick Blues" through my vibes across the ocean...

"When you're down on your luck and you aint got a buck, in London, you're a goner." (Jerry Jeff Walker).

I could also send you some good old fashioned Howard Stern or something similar online.... Some offer, I know, I know...

I hate my job. I just wanted to share that with you all. And I hate my colleague. I really needed to say that. If not, I may have just gone out into the street and smacked some poor, innocent random. I miss England. I am often homesick for it. Especially when I hate everybody as I do these days.

I didn't realize that you are a Chicago gal at heart. You write with such a European accent.

Born in Aubagne! I'm jealous!

Marcel Pagnol is one of my favorite writers.

Cigales must be in your blood. :-)
