I am conflicted, too, GV, we are in the kingdom of Tonga, and will soon cross the international date line, again, so it will be Wednesday when it is Tuesday there. Should I read the Wed. Paper and tell you the Mets',score before Tues night? Is it ethical? Have I been drinking to much fermented coconut juice? Go Mets and Go GV

Ed, I am sure you have had too much fermented coconut juice, but I would suggest you follow the games via the Internet at a Starbucks. 11/20/2015 07:20:12 am
HA ha. I'm sorry I'm not so much in baseball, but the first comment just made me laugh. Stop drinking fermented coconut juice!)) And come on, it's the era of internet. Comments are closed.

Had a wonderful time on the #NYTReadalong Sunday with Sree Sreenivasan and Neil Parekh, talking about the Super Bowl and the great paper where I used to work. Here’s the link to my fun time. Thanks to all the nice people who sent messages while I was babbling. The Readalong is Sunday, 8:30-10:15 AM Eastern, and the link is available after that:
