SPOILER ALERT
If have not read Quiz #17. “Be You” just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.

A. Having worked with him on various work projects, I'm friends with the Phillie Phanatic. Before sending out today’s quiz, I sent a draft copy to him. He sent me an email back, “Be You! Love it! Don’t know how, don’t know when, but baseball will be back;”

C. Wednesday night, I looked into signing up for Substack, the email newsletter service that Murphy uses for Understandably;
D. This morning, I sent a DM to PJ Vogt, the co-host of the Reply All podcast, telling him that I’d discussed his fantastic podcast, “The Case of the MIssing Hit” in Sunday’s quiz;
E. Sara has a quote of the day that she posts to the kitchen window above the sink. Today's quote reads, “Action binds anxiety.” If you’re feeling anxious--and who isn’t these days--do something. Take concrete steps that are comfortable and routine. Return to your strengths. Be you.
I have worked with the Phanatic on different projects and I was thinking of him on what should have been Opening Day, but I did not send him a draft of the quiz.
