I guess I'm just in a Chicago state of mind. My previous post mentioned in passing Lee Elia's sale of an autographed baseball displayed on a pedestal that plays a 20-second apology to Cubs' fans for his iconic tirade against them in 1983.A Chicago website, The Chicagoist, pooh-poohed Elia's earmarking of 10% of each $89.95 sale for helping with the fight against cancer. But Elia's no carpetbagger here: He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997. His father died of prostate cancer in 1987.

Now to tell ?the friends.? I decide to tell the closest 20 friends in the most positive way I can because I feel that at this time I have a positive story to tell that may help others.
