"The Lament of a Bears' fan in Packer City, Calif.
It’s killing me to be living in Chico, CA., right now – hometown of Aaron Rodgers. The Tule Fog has set in, and it’s not lifting. This is the weather pattern of dark, gloomy, foggy, air – where sometimes you can’t see more than 20 feet ahead of you. Which seems to reflect my mood... Read more »
DELUSIONS OR PREDICTIONS: YOU MAKE THE CALL TODAY!
A prediction is a statement about the way things will happen in the future, or that some outcome is expected. Often, but not always, it is based on knowledge or experience.

Dr. Janice Gagerman
My brother put a mitt in my hand at 5 years old, and the rest was history. Grew up on 89th and Clyde near CVS. I sat shot-gun in my father's taxi cab, listening to Sox and Bears games on the radio. Taught my 12" softball womens' teammates how to slide into 2nd base like Aparicio. Been a Professor for 25 years but never lost my love for Sports. Raised a family, and work in my garden and orchard. I can't stand technology, but have adapted.
