I knew blogging would pay off some day. After finding the Athens Marigold Mallet Society ([posted yesterday](/#78444)) posted by [Chip Woods](http://www.athenstown.com/year2000/chipw/) (brain-father to the [Year 2000 Project](http://www.athenstown.com/year2000/) family of weblogs), I marched on over and played a raucus game of croquet, my first in over two years. Finally, I met Chip, and he's as nice a guy as his weblog suggests. His blogged technological exploits always interest me, but his degree of wiredness was a sight to behold:  
  
Chip (talking on cell phone): "_Oh, hey, I gotta go_ "  
Us: "_No, it's not your turn yet._ "  
Chip: "_Huh? What? No! I've got a call on the other line._ "
