Any other staffers care to shed some light as Eli supposedly won't be online to read our comments?

The scary part wasn't that I did it, the scary part was the peaceful calm that came over me once I just gave in and logged on.

I came home wondering if I had a problem, which obviously, I'm not doing anything about

Seriously, cut the cord.

I know this city. Spent a good amount of time there as a kid, when there was no TV to be seen. A week or two at at time with no TV! And I learned that it wasn't bad at all.

That was then, eh?

It's a great town! You goofed. NEXT time, leave that electronic stuff behind, okay?
