Game Called on Account of Yuck

[billroper]

I had made plans to go down to Wrigley tonight with Gary Ehrlich, who is in town for a conference.

And then, contact with the enemy happened.

First, I was a watering, sneezy mess, pretty clearly a head cold and not allergies. I took an Actifed to dry things up a bit, but I felt pretty punk. I suggested to daisy_knotwise (who had gotten up early for the cleaning lady this morning) that maybe she could go to the game instead.

It was not a lack of enthusiasm for seeing Gary that was a problem on her part; it was the same damned cold.

And then the Cubs canceled the game on account of rain. It hadn't actually started raining, but the forecast was for abject misery, only to be compounded by the shortage of urinals at the park.

I am looking forward to going to a game with Gary some other time.

Almost any other time will be better. :)

Ah, well, you left him more time to work on the ConCertino progress report. I hadn't realized he was so dedicated that he's finishing it while traveling on business.

Luckily, this same committee will be meeting again (probably at the same hotel) sometime in June or July. I have suggested a few dates that correspond with Cubs homestands. ;-)

Actually, I sent the initial draft before I left for the meeting and took care of the comments this evening after I got home and had dinner. (Amusingly I arrived home within minutes of my usual time.)
