With the regular season coming to a merciful end tomorrow night, I’d like to thank Mike Fiske, who has made this endeavor possible for more than three years. He also helped me install a new HDTV the other day, a process during which we determined via the very cool A Level iPhone app that my house has settled into the hillside on a slant — which may or may not explain my imbalance.
