[1]
More than a month ago, before anyone knew the Giants would get far in the playoffs, I signed up to phonebank for a proposition [2] that’s on the ballot in California. I dread phone banking, but it’s important to be a good citizen. As it turned out, the date would coincide with the final game of the World Series in which my beloved team had the chance to win. Could I back out of the commitment and stay home? I thought about it, but really, how could I? At least I’d be able to sneak peeks of the score during the evening on my phone. As it turned out, the community center where we were making the calls had only a sporadic internet connection. At least I’d taped the game and could watch those final exultant moments when I returned home. As it turned out, the DVR stopped recording during the 8th inning. But today, I’m soaking it in.
