and give us a chance to get our minds off the ballgame this weekend.

I would add at least one more. "We (or I) are walking in tall cotton". I was working with a couple of guys from our Corporate Office in Deerfield, Ill, which is a Suburb of Chicago, and made the comment when we reached a certain milestone on this project we would be walking in tall cotton. One of them replied "I'm not familiar with the metaphor "Walking in tall cotton". I explained the meaning of the metaphor "Walking in tall cotton" in the context in which I was using the phase.
Long story short, it became a running joke in that particular office. Those guys had their secretary call me one day and ask me if we were "Walking in tall cotton" yet, as a joke to kid me about our Southern sayings. The secretary said they just wanted to know if it was okay to precede with the project. LOL!
Yankees, what are going to do with them? Actually Chicago is in the Mid-West and I truly do love the Mid-West as well as the Mid-Western residents.
Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed the article as much as I did.
