Podcast Episode 10

This week’s podcast features music from  “Summer of Our Lives”, “100 Years”, “I’m A Chicago Cubs Fan” and “I Bleed Cubbie Blue” off the album “I Bleed Cubbie Blue” by Kevin Henrickson, available on his website.

This will be the final podcast until next spring, but I’ll still post new haiku to recall highlights of the 2008 season and as inspired by Cubs news during the off-season.  Please continue to add your great comments about favorite moments from this Division Championship year, what changes you’re looking for before next season, or to vent about the disappointing post-season.

It’s less than 135 days until the start of spring training, so get ready to be hopeful once again.

GO CUBBIES!
