Looking Ahead

About a month ago, I planned on doing a whole series of posts (GP was in on this too) for this upcoming weekend.  It seemed perfect as Friday was St. Patty's Day and the next night was SKC's home opener (for the unwashed).  It'd be a sort of weekend bonanza.  I thought about doing a pre-weekend post about expectations, one during the festivities (left unedited), and then a post-weekend piece about what went right and what ... didn't.

How could I not do something for St. Patty's Day?  It's only one of greatest days of the year.  See the included photo from GP's introductory post back at the beginning of this blog.  We're only about 2-3 hours deep in that photo.  Good times.  It seemed a no-brainer to mine this weekend for some quality blog posts.

Unfortunately, I'm a moron.  A little over a week ago, I realized that St. Patty's Day is actually on Sunday, and adding insult to injury, the SKC game isn't even a night game.  It's a 2pm kickoff.  Both of those created a severe degradation of enthusiasm for my weekend exploits.  I'm still going to try to churn out something about the weekend, though.  About what, I don't know yet.  Maybe it'll just be about beer and its bubbly goodness.  Maybe I'll (properly) introduce the internet to boccer.  Maybe GP will inspire something more in me... or in both of us.

MM#8: Internet/Cable Issues Part III

 

Whoops! Forgot about posting the third part. That should've been done a few days ago to wrap up this line of thought. Sorry 'bout that.

So, as I said in the second part, this final letter was sent to customer service and was Cc'd to many of the top executives at corporate. Only history knows whether it was sent after the exchange in Part II or right before. Regardless, it never earned a reply from anyone at Comcast. That wasn't entirely surprising, but it was somewhat disappointing. However, while it was mostly just me spouting off with my fingertips, it does contain one of my favorite lines I've ever written.
