Shared misery
An excerpted transcript from the last phone call I took tonight at work:STUDENT LOAN BORROWER: Hey, how are things going in Des Moines?
MOELLER: Not too bad. It feels like things are kind of on an upswing.
BORROWER: I used to work in Des Moines.
MOELLER: I'm familiar with your town, too. (Canton, Missouri) I see the signs for it when I drive down to Cardinals ballgames.
BORROWER: (Suddenly exasperated) Did you know they're losing again tonight? It's already 4-0 in the third.
MOELLER: Yeah. But this'll probably be the last time Marquis ever pitches.
BORROWER: That guy's terrible! I was just telling my parents that on the phone.

Neither a Borrower nor a Moeller be.
Damn the 2006 Reds for not being out of it yet. They just want a chance to tear out my heart one more time.
I hate the Astros.
