Hi gang.  Sad news out of Chicago this morning.  I remember the magical 2006 Bears season with great fondness.  Every weekend, as the Bears made their way towards the Super Bowl, my wife Brian and I would enjoy the wide open parking at area malls and the empty antique shops as we furnished our little turkey hut.

Recently, the Bears have been unable to recreate the winning ways of that season, which has made weekend antiquing more crowded.  Goodbye, Sexy Rexy.  I’ll think of you on the long walk back to the car the next Sunday I’m at the mall.
