We Give In To Our Internal Surrender Monkey

We're taking a couple more days off at the end of this week — Friday's a half day anyway, and the whole site is taking Memorial Day off — so we're using to do something we've never done before: We're going to Europe. Actually, we're going to France. Yes, yes, we know: Everybody point and laugh.

In about an hour, we'll be on a plane to Paris, where we will attempt to pronounce "Où montrent-ils aux cardinaux le jeu?" (Roughly translated from "Where are they showing the Cardinals game?") We don't speak any French, we don't know anything about France and you can't even smoke inside anymore. We'll try to keep ourselves busy.

Mssgrs. Daulerio and Chandler will be here to take you through the rest of the week. We'll be back Tuesday morning. If we could grow facial hair, we'd be sporting a goatee, but you all know that isn't possible. We just hope we run into this guy.
