Things That Make Me Happy I’m Not A Real Journalist

If it was a freelance assignment, I wonder what it would take to get me to go to arguably the most drearily exurban major center in the United States (now 50% parking!) to listen to a bunch of Republican speeches that I could watch on TV if I didn’t prefer to watch the Mets (verdict: marginally better than the Astros!), or…pretty much anything else. I’m not sure, but I think my asking price would start in the five-figure range, even before we get to storm issues.
