Another interview is in the books. I think I nailed that one like a cheap… uh, nail, too. These are the kinds of jobs I’ve always wanted, the kind where I feel like I’m doing something with my life. And if those don’t work out, I am still waiting for offers to start flowing in to be a writer at some magazine or website like “The Sports Guy” or the “Pop Candy” lady does. SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!!
But last night I had a mission to raise some money to get to Minneapolis tonight for the weekend. Why you ask? Because the Cubs are in town! Yes, the Chicago Cubs! Though my first shot a winning, the 7 Clans Casino-Red Lake, like Dirk Nowitzki, went down in flames in crunch time. So I have a few hours to come up with a few hundred. Hmmm… I wonder. I’ll think of something… I’m a survivor.
Wednesday night we had a game and came away with an extra-innings win, 15-14. And for the first time in a while, I came through in crunch time by driving in the tying run. I was going for the walk-off homerun, but that will suffice for now I guess. It was a good old-fashioned slug fest. They were up by seven, then we came back to lead by four, they came back to take the lead in the top of the seventh, we tied it back up in the bottom of the seventh, mowed ‘em down in the eighth, and put them to sleep in the bottom of the eighth. Good times.
As for the rest of the day, my girls are pretty fired up for some extra softball practice. So the scheming for Cubs tickets and travel money will have to hold off for a while. But don’t get me wrong; I AM GOING TO AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE GAMES! You betchyour balls I am! Because I am now a crunch time player, baby!!!
