Thoughts on the World Series

I really enjoyed watching my friend's feed the past couple of days.  I don't know how, but I've ended up with about an equal amount of Chicago Cubs and Cleveland fans, and watching them gently duke it out over the World Series has been a balm to my soul.

No one accused the other team of cheating.  No one whined about the umpires.  No one even really insulted the other team - it was just a lot of excitement and spirit on both sides.  I guess when you've had long enough to wait, you get good at being gracious, winner or loser.  But it was fun to watch, and exciting, and spirited, and... I can't imagine a better last game than one that came down to the very last out.  I just want to honor that... it felt heart-healing to know that we can still come together after a contest and be friends.
