Terrible Accident!
I was in a terrible accident today, lost both feet and one hand, but I can still count the number of people reading this blog, and they all should immediately click here and read this wonderful article (well it's part journalism and part short story) by Michael Lewis in the NY Times. Hurry up, it's already 3 days old and the Times doesn't keep stuff up forever. (It's not short so save it or print it out if you don't have the time to read it now.) If you get a dead link, let me know and I'll figure something out.
Lewis wrote Moneyball (I'm too lazy to link to it), which I've highly recommended to several friends, all of whom have ignored me to date. I'm not surprised at this, since all of my friends have achieved quite nicely and I'm certain they're acutely aware that I had nothing to do with it. Be that as it may, if you read the link and get bored, then forget what I said about Moneyball.
