A sleepy morning conversation yesterday, before coffee. The World Series game went too late for people who work. We had gone to bed at 6-3. (Good thing. I don't think my heart could have taken the next four or five innings.)
Etherknitter: Did they win?
Mr. Etherknitter: Yes. In the 10th inning. By one run.
Etherknitter: WHEW. All is right with the world. Which team is now the longest since last winning a World Series?
Mr. Etherknitter: Wikipedia will know.
silence while keyboard is tapped
Mr. Etherknitter: Some people don't have a life.
Etherknitter: ??
Mr. Etherknitter: The game ended at midnight. And the Wikipedia article on which team hasn't won in the longest time is already updated. Cleveland.
shakes head at crazy people
Mr. Etherknitter: Now Theo Epstein has to move to Cleveland.
I went to a workshop on updating Wikipedia at a library conference last spring. Mr. Etherknitter is correct.

I laughed out loud at Mr. Etherknitter--because I had the same thought.

So true! LOL
I loved the game and went to work sleepy the next day! It was worth it.
