From the Management

The proprietors of Elisberg Industries are leaving on a corporate retreat this morning for a few days to Chicago.  In the interim, the company elves have arrived at the homestead to keep the lights on here and make sure this site stays up and running.  At least that's the hope -- most of them are reasonably responsible and trustworthy, though I've placed a time lock on the refrigerator.

I will do my best to continue posting here each day -- though I can't guarantee the consistency or subject matter, since upper management will be trying its best to block out politics as we focus on other matters.  Though I would imagine some will seep through the cracks.  The good news is that it's unlikely many postings during this period will reach the same interminable length readers here have grown accustomed to.  Though I can't guarantee that, either, since I've pre-written some...

I have been asked by some if I plan to go to any Cubs games while in Chicago, since the team just began a homestand.  Let me answer that this way:  the temperature in Chicago today during the day is 39-degrees.  At night, it will be 26-degrees.  So, the answer is -- no.  I love the Cubs. But I have been to Wrigley Field under such conditions. And this, I discovered, is why God created the television.  And down jackets -- to be worn in the winter, not during a baseball game.
