You can kind of tell the story from the user name. I grew up and went to college in the more urbane regions of Butler and Warren Counties. (Folks at Miami were almost impressed that I used to live in Millville, since they knew it as the town on the way to Cincy that had the Vend-a-Bait machine!)
Moved to Chicago after school, and have been there (pretty much) ever since. Like many of you, I'm a big Reds, Bengals, Buckeyes, etc. fan, and I try to keep the faith from afar. It's a little hard with the sanctimonious Cubs fans and the low-class Sox fans, but years like this help. And thank God for the Internet and XM Radio!
The knowledge level on this site is fantastic, by the way, and I usually learn something here every day. (By the way, I'm not on there tonight, but the Chat feature during games is a lot of fun - and I kind of like the real-time aspect of it more than the game threads. Highly recommended....)
I need to get back to the game, but I just wanted to finally say hi, and hopefully I'll take the time to post a little more in the future.
