hardballtimes.com 9/24/2009 — How it's possible to miss four days of work yet have seven days worth of work to makeup is beyond me, but I'll be damned if that's not what I'm facing at the moment. Oh well, it's isn't going anywhere, so I'll try to get to at least some new stuff this afternoon. In the meantime:
