This is why we love the British

But the real crisis? This is why we love the British. I begged out of the manual labor thing after scoring a breakfast at “El Mercado” [S. First Street], and angled for the Neighbor’s trailer for the ball game. The ads were supposed to be even more enchanting than last year, but near as I could remember, they flopped pretty badly. None of them really scored with me. The e-Trade ads seemed to be about the best, but let me recall, it was just last year, and it was an e-Trade check that bounced on me, from a client. On further examination, the money was in the account, and this was the company’s mistake. Heavens forbid someone would intentionally bounce a check to their astrologer. But the lack of response on the part of the company makes me wonder if it’s really worth it. Great marketing doesn’t insure they will be around in the future, and judging by the way they treat my clients, I’m not sure I trust the company myself. But some of the ads were nice. And I did get carried away with the back to back kick off return thing, for about 30 seconds, it looked like there was going to be a ball game. As usual, my prediction for winning was hopelessly wrong. I was sort of rooting for the Giants.
