40 days and counting

Every year around this time, something strange happens. I find myself smiling more often and daydreaming about fall Sundays and reading the sports section more avidly and buying magazines I might previously have ignored. There are only 40 more days until the Bears open their 2007 season and defend their NFC Championship crown. So when Amber, Sam and myself found ourselves driving right past the Bears training camp on our way back from vacationing in Memphis...well, we had no choice but to go watch practice, right? And hence began what I hope will be a long-standing tradition of visiting Bears training camp and getting an up-close view of the Monsters of the Midway.
