As most of you know, if you’ve spent any time around me or this site or my Twitter feed, my default setting is cynicism. This comes from a long time spent being a Cubs fan.
I don’t need to rehash it all. You know why. Because some of you have lived through at least some of the years I’m referring to and some of you have lived through more.
But for me, it’s been different the last two years. And I have the Blackhawks and my friend Nancy to thank for that.
Nancy is a Blackhawks fan the way I am a Cubs fan.
