I’m in Chicago for a conference, so we’re planning a meetup at:
Redfish 400 N. State St.
I’ll probably get there between 6:30 and 7. Who else is coming?
“Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs,” I said. “We have a protractor.”
“Okay, I’ll go home and see if I can scrounge up a ruler and a piece of string.”
I’ll be there.
I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck: the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others; made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it. - Paul Newman, on why he created the Hole in the Wall Camp.
I won’t be able to make it, I’m afraid—I have my Beatles Ensemble that night. Sorry!
“[The Yankees have] got to start playing the way the Rays are playing.”
--Hank Steinbrenner, Co-chairperson, New York Yankees
Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it. I waited until the last minute to respond, as I wanted to be sure I couldn’t reorganize my time. Hopefully next time will work.
