Challenging myself to remember that preseason football isn’t the real thing.

My Dad always referred to pre-season games as pretend football.

The Turnpike Troubadours were fantastic at the IL State Fair last night. The huge crowd was most encouraging for an Americana band at the top of their game.

Terrific show!

Nice to see the Bears win handily, even if it’s pre-season. Now if they can just manage to win when it matters….
