Yeah, obviously this isn’t happening today.
I was unexpectedly out late last night, and then this morning one thing just snowballed into the other, until was afternoon and then night again.
(This happened last night, among other hijinks.)
Still, I worked really hard today.

* Wabash Lights Project Exceeds Kickstarter Goal.
* Boston Bid For Summer Olympics Is Terminated.
Deep skepticism here about whether taxpayers would be stuck footing the bill for the Olympics has doomed Boston’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Games and raised questions about whether any other major American city might be willing to take on the risk.
The Chicago media is willing!
* Ian Is Leaving Gold Star After 21 Years.
