P.M. Gambit
- Wade
No, that title does not refer to Prime Minister Gambit. It refers to the fact that, well, it's 3:40 and I'm just getting around to this. Blame it on a six-hour meeting today, blame it on confusion over whose gambit it really was today, blame it on Rio... just don't blame it on the rain. That's all I ask of you.
Where was I? Oh yes, a six-hour meeting. Haven't had one of those for a while, and this one was a doozy. Agendas, introductions, parking lots, breakout sessions... all of the stuff I thought I'd get out of when I left CSC. Heavens, I'm even wearing a tie.
Okay, not anymore.
The day certainly does fly by when one is away from his/her computer. The downfall: late gambits, 45 unread e-mails, no participation on the forum, and no idea what in the wild wild world of sports went on in the news or the life of my family and friends today. Some coolness on the simpleprop front, but I'm guessing wadE will want to share that tomorrow.
So, you ask, I waited all day for your lousy gambit-- so it had better be good.
And it is. Oh, it is.
Okay, it's not. But I had two minutes to come up with something.
Read me.
C'mon. Who hasn't accidentally done that once or twice? I also am a big fan of the text on the top of the page: RUSSIA MAKES IT FUNNY. It seems like the entire article is written by someone who's new to English... Of course, the words necessary to describe this story probably aren't covered until later in the "Learn to Speak English in 30 Days" books...
Alrighty then, I'm out. Hopefully more time to waste tomorrow.
