Hip hip HOORAY! There was never a doubt in my mind, but I'm glad the BAA made it official.

Congratulations, Sheldon. You earned it.

Nope, I got my dream year. Boston in the spring, and New York in November. Then I might retire.

I was thinking I might fit it all into a rock ballad. Or maybe a comic book. Can I use your real pseudonym?

I am lucky enough to have a good friend who lives in Boston, and a brother living in New York City. Otherwise I likely wouldn't do them both in the same year. Also luckily my S.O. loves Boston and wants to visit New York.
