As a result of local billionaire Sam Zell's successful bid for the Tribune Company, the Cubs are officially on the market. Let it be known that I'm willing and able to cash in my change jar should anyone want to join me in making an offer, (I'd go it alone but I think I'd be at least $500 million short).

On the bright side, my emploer decided to close the office for Good Friday, which means I no longer have to use PTO when I go DC this weekend. Hells yeah!

I'll ad the $3.35 from my piggy bank and join you in your Cubs offer. That's about all they're worth.
(oohhh snap!)
