Tomorrow is the first day of Obstructed View. If you don't follow me, Adam, Jeff or David on Twitter or like us on Facebook (why the heck don't you?), you have missed a great deal of hype for the new site that has been a great deal of fun to put together and I couldn't resist one last one:
It started (I think) with a comment from our friend, Melissa about how the four of us coming together was like the Traveling Wilburys. That led to Adam putting this together:
He also did a few more and I decided I should put a few together like this one:
Or this one:
Soon there were something like twenty images floating around (check out the album on our Facebook page to see the rest) hyping up Obstructed View and I realized that putting those together was the most fun I had had in a long time with this whole blogging thing.
I remember when I first started this blog, one of my friends who had quite a bit of experience blogging told me that the main thing was to have fun with whatever I did with it. Otherwise, it's just another form of work. That turned out to be one of the most true statements ever made.
While I loved building up this site, I realized the main fun I've had while musing about the foibles of the Cubs is getting to know the people who have managed to find their way to this site and those who I interact with on Facebook and Twitter. So, even though I'm not sure what is in store for this site in the future, I'm very excited to enter into this venture with Adam, Jeff and David. I'm very thankful and honored that they asked me to be a part of Obstructed View and I'm sure our collaboration will result in something far greater than I could ever have achieved by myself on this site.
But I'm also thankful for everyone who stopped by and read the ramblings and rants that spilled out of me as the Cubs somehow managed to underwhelm me despite ever-lowered expectations. It is a tremendous help to know that so many people out there feel the same pain I feel when watching such repeated failure. I hope if you liked this site that you will follow me over to the new place because it won't be the same otherwise.
Thanks again, and don't forget to check back here from time to time since I do watch an awful lot of sports that don't involve the Cubs, and I'm pretty opinionated.
Until then, how about one more tip of the hat to one of my favorite shows:
