I'm looking forward to seeing your episode, Scrappy!
As I'm in meeting rooms all day today, I'm wearing a nice t-shirt and a shawl over it. One room's hot, the next one's cold. I've resigned myself to creating my own temperate zone.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

The Friendly and Very Expensive Confines
So what does it cost to witness 102 years of baseball futility? More than any other team.
That's right Cubs fans, your team hasn't won a World Series since 1908, but to see the 2010 edition will set you back $52.56 per seat at beautiful Wrigley Field, according to Team Market Report's annual Fan Cost Index. (And no, the price of admission doesn't guarantee a win.)
TMR, a Wilmette company, each year releases a price index that measures everything from parking to concessions to ticket costs and this year the North Siders top the list.
The average ticket in MLB costs $26.79, up just slightly from a year ago.
The report shows that the Cubbies had the second highest price increase -- up 10.1 percent for 2010.
eta: Of course, it's kinda' dumb to drive and park near Wrigley when there's a train station right next to it. Parking near Wrigley would run about $10-$12.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
More than that I'd guess. But I can't imagine ever trying it out in practice.

“Not dead yet!”
At airport, impossibly early, waiting for flight to Austin. Impossibly early because I come from the Miami International Airport school of get to the airport early because the traffic is going to be a pain.
It wasn't that bad, actually, but I suspect if I'd left home a half hour later, I might still be on I-5, so. At least I'm comfortably early, I have a Dark Cherry Mocha and I'm using free wi-fi.
Life could be worse.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I wonder how Fenway compares, but not really interested enough to look it up. I think parking is likely even more expensive, but they're both parks that are situated right within their respective cities.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it being unreasonable to ask the offshore guys to save files in a format I can read? I don't care that they don't have Office 2002. I can't read .xlsx. Someone can manually convert for me every time, or they can downvert. Whichever. It's not like anyone's handing me Office upgrades on a platter.
