One of the things I love, love, love about having my laptop is that I can - & do - leave it on all the time. (I'm in denial about having to bring it back this week. De-ni-al.)

On and online, almost all the time.

It's fabulous because anytime I have even the slightest thought about something, I can type it right into this here blog (and save it as a draft, so you poor people don't get messy in the explosion from my brain). I can go right to my library and request any random book I hear mentioned on TV or read about in a magazine. If there's a song I want to hear more of, or a recipe I can't remember: it's all right here.

Also, most frequently, I can use it to fill my head with more useless trivia.

And the gold standard for answering questions - any tiny little question that pops into my head - is Wikipedia.
Wikipedia has solved a million, trivial issues for me.

Today's example:

Re-reading a book, I came across the phrase Tinker to Evers to Chance. It was obviously a baseball reference, but I am obviously NOT a baseball person. But, I love history, and poems, so imagine how great it was to type the phrase into Wikipedia and get this response.

Ah.. Wikipedia. What did we ever do without you?
