I had the opportunity to see The Loose Ties play at Woobie's Bar & Nightlife tonight, a fantastic way to get Project MERCATOR back on track. But I didn't seize that opportunity, instead staying home to continue watching the entire series of Sports Night & chat on the phone with Love/Hate.
Casey:What happened to your values?
Dan: I find that maintaining them is a lot of work. I take a day off every now and then.
Casey: You take a vacation from doing the right thing?
Dan: Yeah. I don't loot storefronts or anything, but once in a while, when I consider the effort it takes to diligently adhere to a moral compass, I take myself out of the lineup and I rest up for the next game.
There was a welcome-to-campus event for new & transfer students yesterday, and I set up & manned the table for the Econ. Club; so, I made tonight's choice—a choice clearly in violation of both the spirit & the letter of MERCATOR—secure in the wonderful/baleful knowledge that before I know it I'll be up to my eyeballs in social shenanigans, malarkey, & tomfoolery. So, yeah, tonight I took myself out of the lineup to rest for the next game, a reminder of the utility of periodically reviewing the whole of Sports Night.

Commentary:
"I'm gonna miss you!
I'm gonna miss you so much!
Those hot summer nights
Won't last forever!
I'm gonna miss you!
I'm gonna miss you so much!
Those hot summer nights
Won't last forever!
I know you're gone
And you can't come home.
I'm so alone (so alone),
But I'll never forget about you."
