		<description><![CDATA[	It took almost two hours and a dozen trips up and down (and up and down) the stairs from my apartment to my building&#8217;s alley, storage room and, finally, laundry room &#8211; where the cable guy was forced to pop his head through a dusty ceiling panel &#8211; but the faulty wire connection that left me with no home Internet or cable for nearly two weeks has been fixed.

	Today, however, isn&#8217;t that day.
	Neither is tomorrow. Or the next day, it appears.

		<description><![CDATA[	So, just how hard did it rain in Chicago on Monday night?
	So hard that my cell phone suffered catastrophic water damage when I ran from Cubby Bear to my apartment (about, oh, three-quarters of a mile) just as the late-night monsoon that finally ended the Cubs game for good began pouring down.
	And my cell phone, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	So, here&#8217;s my morning so far:
	1.) I wake up and realize my cell phone no longer works.
	(Yet it worked fine at 11:30 p.m. when I made a phone call and set my alarm. What the &#8230;?)
	2.) I then turn on the TV and realize my cable is not working.

	a.) The Cubs win the World Series.
	b.) Kerry Wood&#8217;s finger blister heals.
	c.) Brett Favre (really) retires.
	d.) None of the above.

Different &#8230; but the same.

At least that will be the case if you believe the Beachwood Reporter in its entertaining take on the future: &#8220;Chicago 2040.&#8221;]]></description>

	Eight All-Stars on the Big League club, and the best John Hancock the Cubs can come up with for charity is Felix&#8217;s, huh.

	Funny ones, at least.
	And it seems like there are no shortage of those in Chicago.
	This morning, while walking through Wrigleyville, I spotted another one &#8212; several, actually &#8212; plastered on the front doors of apartment buildings.
