At Barnes & Noble today I saw a copy of The Kama Sutra in the sports section. I suppose it could go there. But it also seemed to me that I'd seen it before. Do you suppose there is someone who goes into Barnes & Nobles, picks up the book from the health and lifestyles section -- or whichever one it's in -- and places it on the sports rack? (Huh-huh: rack.) Is it a nationwide cult? Is there an organization of sex lovers who go around moving The Kama Sutra into sports sections in book stores around America?

I don't really have much to say. I went and did some pre-trip shopping today and started packing my suitcase, only to come to work and remember to check the weather for Chicago and vicinity and find that it's going to be cooler out there this weekend. So I'll need to go home and bring less short-sleeved and more long-sleeved shirts. But that will make playing baseball at the Field of Dreams that much more enjoyable.

I really need this trip. I need to get away, leave work and most of the rest of my life for a while just to do some dancing and partying and drinking and baseballing. It's just what I need right now, I think, particularly the bachelor party part of the weekend.

Though I needed that phone call more, thank you.
