Factory workers

Last evening, everyone was in the office and working on the new issue. Everyone's been working hard at it for the last week, but never all at once. Eric was cranking out material, Wendy spent most of her time laying out a hellacious travel piece, and Pryor got caught up with the color balancing. The work we do in the relatively small amount of deadline time is massive, but there's nothing I love more. It felt like the team was back to together.

Too bad the Lakers couldn't come together as well. We had it on in the background, and it was a bummer to see them outplayed from the beginning. Maybe they ran out of juice? The challenges that Purple and Gold face over the off-season are too complex for me to think about now, but the Clippers have to view this as a massive opportunity to win fans in L.A.
