67

Nothing's happening with the White Sox, so this will be short and sweet. The Update just wanted to remind you that in the magical year of 2005 -- stop reading now if you don't know why it was magical -- the White Sox Magic Number at the All-Star break was 68. That means the Sox are one game closer to clinching the division than they were when they won it all. Let's hope the same result obtains. Go Sox!

WARNING: Publication from here on out may be spotty for a few days. Daughter Allison gets married to soon-to-be son-in-law Chas Andrews on Saturday, so Dad may be a little too busy to write for a while. Best wishes to our darling Al and her Chas. Judy and I love her to death and look forward to having Chas as part of our family. Go Allison and Chas!
