It's going slow. Slow. Slow. I haven't hit the 20 page mark yet and it's Saturday night. Sigh.
So, I turned on college football for inspiration, listening to the announcers, trying to pick up phrases: dial up a perfect blitz, they were sitting on all the short routes, the best scrambling quarterback in the conference, suspended for a bar fight in late August, he's a game changer, excellent is 80%... um, what?
But I still felt stuck, so I went down to the hotel restaurant (so I wouldn't waste time driving around) for some caffeine and something not too filling (so that I wouldn't get sleepy). And lo and behold, what should I see? But three guys at the bar, watching college football, talking to each other, and more importantly, yelling at the TV. So, I started eavesdropping on them too: they're gonna get their comeuppance, Get going! Go! Go! Go!, somebody get open for him, that's a quarterback who just made mayonnaise outta marshmallows...um, what? In all seriousness. A guy said that. No way I could make that up.
Regardless, it was enough to get me to back up here and keep typing.
