Saturday’s game against the Dodgers was one of the longest, most exciting on record. The announcers said they’ve never heard anything as impressive and eerie as the sell-out crowd’s Indian chant that started spontaneously during the 10th inning. Kathy became a die-hard Braves fan that day.

Sunday, Kathy had to go to work, and I set up the computer downstairs, working hard on a the PriceMaker demo due Monday. At about 3:00, Kathy came home. Unlike her normal returns from work, she flew through the door yelling, “You don’t have the Braves game on! They just hit a grand slam!” She was whooping and yelling. I’ve always thought she was exaggerating her Marriott exhaustion. Or maybe it was simply offset by Braves fever.
