The CEO or whatever he is, dropped off a couple Nationals tickets in the developers lounge as it is called. The tickets were for this afternoon's game.
I took them, because no one else could go. I thought I could find others to go, but I did not. I did not sit in my assigned spot and I actually liked the game when I sat really close.
Anyway, this guy was handing out books as people filed into the stadium. Most people would not take them, but I figured it was alright. I think some thought it was some religious thing because some wacko was handing out this "Jews for Jesus" pamphlet...
Well, I did not find the book on Amazon -- which was not a surprise. It looked like it was published fairly cheaply. I Googled it up and eventually found this historical site for Maryland.
The book?
NEW!!!

Cool. I might read it. I have so much I want to read already. Too bad there is no fast forward? Chapter skipping works!
