Again, one year ago tonight. May 20, 2008. After the DMI Benefit, adjourned here with blogging cohorts Tom Watson, Jason Chervokas, Roy Edroso, Lindsay Beyerstein, and the enigmatic Julia for late night snacks and drinks. Also along, Bruce Bernstein, who ought to have a blog and will soon if Watson gets his way, and Julia's delightful and extremely patient daughter. Conversation centered on baseball and the Mets more than on politics, at least at the Watson, Chervokas, Edroso, Bernstein, Mannion end of the table.

I hope you aren't implying that girls don't follow the Mets! I stayed up way too late last night getting my guts wrenched to let that stand, sir.
Also, Julia and daughter are indeed sweeties.

MHB, What's going on in Pittsburgh and when does it go on?
Chris, you're a Mets fan? My condolences. I wasn't implying anything about gender and fandom. It just worked out that night that our table divided Flintstone style and our all Fred and Barney end got to talking baseball. I don't know what they were talking about at the other end. Might very well have been the Mets. Julia's probably lurking right now. Julia, are you a Mets fan?

Had we but world enough and time, I would lurk constantly - but yes, I'm a Mets fan.
