I knew I probably wouldn’t make it.

It was a hard decision, one that I had not made until very late in the day.  But let’s face it, Dave Eggers doesn’t just set up a table in your local bookstore and start signing things every week.  I had formulated a strong argument, had presented it from an objective standpoint.

“The book signing is really close to the Athletic Club.” I explained.  “I’ll get there just as the second game is starting, all fresh and ready for battle!  It will work out great.”  Everyone had said the same thing – it’s cool, it’s alright, things come up.  They weren’t holding it against me.  I was hardly the first person to miss a game.
