Used to be you could sort of depend on the Bears to make the winter less sucky.

I'm all in the Big Good Mood.
And even though spring training is months away and I've got a shovel in my hands, I'm thinking about summer.
That's a good trick, Jim Hendry.
Thank you.
ps:
I was walking from Walgreens last weekend and there was a guy wearing a Packer hat coming my way, staring me down, and I thought, "Not that again."
Remember late 90's when perfectly normal men and women you knew and respected suddenly put on Packer hats and...switched?

(I think that was Paul Newman's Mom's line in "Cool Hand Luke", shortly before young Paul takes the rifle shot in the neck...)
