this is the absolute best case scenario, short of them inking a 50 billion deal with Pfizer in the background

next best would be CA coming back, 100% healed from whatever put him on the sidelines, and with a concrete, well defined plan to getting the hold lifted. i'm ok with this one too.

i'm done entertaining scenarios worse than these - doesn't help my psychological health, or anyone else. I'm resigning to not hearing before the 4th, and am going to (try to) take the ticker off my phone and not look for PRs. maybe if i stop watching the pot.....
