Back in the day one of my roommates went to his room and closed the door for like a half hour because he had to get an airline ticket, or so he said.

So "booking flights" became one.

In case anyone is curious about the origin of "emailing his brother", here's the original story:
Cubs right-hander Carlos Zambrano has been told to cut back on his computer time because the hours he's spending typing could be contributing to his elbow problems.

Zambrano said he had been logging about four hours a day communicating via e-mail with his brother.

"I have to spend one hour and take it easy," Zambrano said.

Zambrano looked fine Saturday, allowing just one hit in seven innings against the White Sox.

"It's not carpal tunnel, but if you don't watch it, who knows what it can lead to? We are trying to alleviate it," Cubs manger Dusty Baker said.

Assuming #13 is me, considering I grew up on the Jersey side of the river, "fryin' pork roll" might be more accurate.

Sometimes I love rass so much it hurts.

'Self-medicating' is a little dark, no? Self-love is a positive thing. It should be separated from the other 23.5 hours of the day and all of that.

Anyway, I thought that I was one of several Swampers under this umbrella until I read 'Taking a test drive with Jan.' That's cute. 36,000 miles on my Toyota and still going strong! (You can interpret that any way you wish.)

I'm going to go ahead and fill in the IDs of the first set I did, even at the risk of hurting someone's feelings for leaving them off initially.

So here is a preemptive sorry. For anyone that didn't come immediately to mind, I just scanned the Last Post column of the first few of pages of the Swamp. Sorry!
