Living around Chicago, there are a number of steady facets of life one must accept as the way it is. The following are just a few of the many traits Chicagoland has to offer:

• The entire state road system is constantly under construction, there is no denying the fact that you will be detouring at one point daily.
• The Chicago Cubs, while being my team since I was a fetus, suck.
• You will use your heat and A/C in the same day more than 7 times a year.
• Humidity here can rival Louisiana.
• People from Wisconsin are everywhere. You must either accept them, or ignore them. We ignore them.
• Chicago is the most beautiful city on the planet. I’ve been a lot of places and nothing rivals our skyline or atmosphere.
• Our elected officials can illegally squeeze a nickel out of a peanut.
• We take our sports, and losing, and rarely winning, very seriously.
• Ditka is king, no exceptions.

I taught my son this valuable lesson very early, and I thought it was important enough, while off the subject of having twins, to document here on our website.

If there is ever a time in your life where you aren’t sure what direction you should be heading, take the road that Ditka would travel.
