Heh, I'm at a Panera in Studio City, and a softball team of writers just came in, and are talking about where there are all supposed to go picket.
You think they'll step up the softball season?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm "watching" it on ESPN Gamecast, which is not entirely satisfactory, but it's still pretty sweet.

Ha! The softball talk quickly rolled over into intensive strike talk.

His reasoning is because he doesn't want to be obviously in opposition to the prevaling world view, in case some sort of social warfare breaks out.
That makes sense in the 'boy, they really do take care of their own' sort of way.
On the other hand, I've always felt intensely sorry for the greenhorn 'elders' sent out to missions in places where I've spent a lot of time...Pittsburgh and DC. Such a life, I would not want for my child. But I suppose the rite of passage has its virtues.

Jeesh. I know the Pats-Colts game is a big deal, but that's cutting away from live action for pregame, isn't it?

True. It's a bad time to be a writer in this town.

Houston is part of the 5% of the country that's not getting the Pats-Colts game, due to...some kind of airing regulations. I guess they have to air the Houston-Oakland game instead.
