Whoopsie!


Well, even the best of us make mistakes once in a while. It turns out that I was misinformed about Chris Adams. It turns out that he's not a wrestler; he did not invent the flying superkick; he did not train "Stone Cold" Steve Austin; and most importantly (thank God!) he is not dead.

It turns out that Chris Adams is actually a cricketer from England! I mistakenly read and posted a link to the wrong article. This is the appropriate article.

While I am very relieved to hear that Mr. Adams is not dead and that he has had an incredible career, scoring over 15,000 runs over nearly 20 years, I am a bit disturbed to find out that he doesn't even live in the United States, much less Chicago or Rogers Park. While we are all the same underneath our skin and we all have the same human needs and desires, there are issues and problems here in Rogers Park that are specific and unique. I think that at the very least, Mr. Adams should 'cross the pond' (as the Brits say) and spend some time in our neighborhood before he is qualified to represent us.
