Ben Wallace.. A Bull! Say its not so....!

Heidi reacts to the news that Ben Wallace has decided to leave the Detroit Pistons and sign with the Chicago Bulls.

Today is truely a dark day for the Lindauers. If Heidi had been a boy, we had even considered using the name Ben in tribute to my favorite Piston. My yahoo IM avatar is a picture of Ben Wallace... I had been looking for a Baby Ben Wallace jersey... All that must now change.

Worry not. We will get through this, though it will be difficult. I expect that I will recover faster than Heidi will as I can recall a time before Ben Wallace while she has spent her entire life as a fan.

I had evisioned a more cheery first 4th of July for my daughter, but we'll do our best to ignore the dark cloud hovering over our heads as we grill some hot dogs, drink some beer (milk) and await the fireworks.
