    Golfed today in a charity golf outing. Almost $60k raised for Ronald McDonald House and the University of Iowa's Children's Hospital. Had a good time and helped a worthy cause. :)

    snowy,

    Hell, I'd pay $10 just to hear Jason Statham say "cat's pajamas."

    And, yes, it's been pointed out by others how easily I am amused.

    Yeah, our cat has gotten in the habit of standing in the hallway or our bedroom and meowing as loudly as she can at about 4:30AM the past several weeks. I'm not thrilled about it.


    And yes, she's fine, she just wants attention.

    I get to go to a Cubs rooftop today with a bunch of my competitors, including folks that got left behind when the choppers pulled out 2 years ago. This should be interesting.

    today i load the copy edits i made last night on chapter 6 of 6.
    then i will be done with the manuscript of the interminable book.
    i am thinking: beverage time. and breathe.
    then it's to the introduction and postface.
    3 weeks before the deadline. it'll be close.

    but this morning i also thinking: maybe the project might actually be good. maybe.

    What did you do to deserve that kind of double whammy?

    Someone must hate you. Wait, that's kind of stating the obvious.

    I actually have no bloody idea what that sentence means.

    Cubs? Cubs rooftop? Why rooftop? Competitors? Were your part of a competition? Choppers pulling out?

    Zombie apocalypse team survival championship?

    That is obvious. The question is "who hates me THAT much?"

    Supersecret plan: go for 3 innings. Walk over to my favorite bar and meet a friend who both lives around the corner and works from home. Drink some beer and head home.

    Of course, that's subject to change. I might just hang out with the carrier and my competitors for a while if they're being amusing.

    The Cubs are a baseball team in Chicago. They play at Wrigley Field, which is in a residential area, surrounded by brownstones and houses. Most of the owners of those buildings have set up bleachers and concessions on the rooftops and sell seats, paying a portion back to the Cubs. The view is obstructed, but it's seen as a good place to hold a corporate function.

    Just over 2 years ago, I changed jobs - joining 90% of the rest of the Chicago office in moving. There were several other offices that were going to do the same thing but didn't pull the trigger before the lawsuits started flying.

  18. TGIF, hope to finish up an engagement that I've been busting my ass on before noon and call it a day. But I make up for it on Sunday. Have to fly out on business Sunday afternoon.

    Is there anything more vile than business travel on Sunday?
