Moved to Chicago the year the Bears won the Super Bowl (1985?), and watched them go downhill ever since. I was in the Netherlands in 91-92, NW Indiana till early '97, but moved back to Chicago after that. Can't beat that Chicago magnet school system...

Didn't realize the path got crowded as early as 6:30 am on weekends nowadays. I remember heading out literally at the crack of dawn during my athletic days - it was a great ride.
