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.
More than that I'd guess. But I can't imagine ever trying it out in practice.
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.
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.
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.
Can you install the compatibility pack?

C is for COOKIE!
AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
I need to leave for the airport in 45 minutes, and I still need to shower and do stuff, and yet I am sitting on the sofa, watching Top Chef Masters, waiting for my nails to dry
ita, we have the same issue in our office and were JUST talking about it. We, IT, have Office2007 and most everyone else is on 2002, so we are constantly sending them stuff they can;t open. Ooops.
