"Go Bears!" We cheered in unison for the Chicago football heroes in their match-up in London, England, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"We probably won't see Kyle," explained my sister Jean.
"He'll be in the spectator section with the drumline," added her husband Jim.
Their son, a member of the Chicago Bears Drumline, had performed the night before in Trafalgar Square and again in front of the stadium for all the tailgaters before the Sunday game.
"It's too bad they couldn't play at halftime or during the game," added Jean, "but the Buccaneers are considered the home team."
We all watched with Mom on the big screen TV at Jean and Jim's house as the Bears scored twice and then stalled. "They do this all the time," said Jean, "look great early on and then fall apart."
But this time the Bears held on for three more exciting quarters and edged out the Buccaneers 24 to 18. Unfortunately, we never did spot Kyle or the drumline.
