Relaxation Music, Chicago Style

There are a few CD's I keep close by. Soothing sounds put me to sleep. Norah Jones, Eddy Arnold, Jackie Green, and now the Chicago Bears talk radio stations.

Last night, Super Bowl Sunday, I dozed off into a great night of sleep listening to the sweet sounds of Doug Buffone and Ed Obradavich, old Bears growling about the events of the evening in Miami. Moaning and nashing of Bear fan teeth has a pleasant melody.

I woke at 3:00 AM with my radio still on. Late, late, late night insomniac Chicagoland talk show hosts were doing more of the same. The Monsters of the Midway are as real as the monsters in a little kid's closet--they don't exist after all. I turned off the radio and with a contented mind, I drifted off to sleep again.

It's not right to revel in the misery of others... but it is a right of a Packer fan.

Almost as good as a Packer Super Bowl win,
Tom
