14. (The Chicago Cubs, my favorite

5 or so runs, and I would be sitting there at his house all depressed): (In
an afternoon stupor Paw Paw would wake up, Point his long old finger
at me and say,) "You mark my words young man, the Cubs will win
today." And they NEVER FAILED to lose when he'd say it!
15. "Oh she's probably 'gallivanting'
