Typically, though, it corresponds with a lucrative contract signed with the Cubs. By the way, Vance, I met a woman from Monroe, LA today. This is how our conversation went. HER: I'm in town from Monroe, LA. ME: Really? I know someone from Monroe. HER: Oh? Who? ME: (crap. What am i talking about? I don't "know" him. I mean, I kinda do, I guess. But not really.) His name is Vance. HER: Vance? Vance what? ME: (meekly) Vance Thecubsfan. Classic!
