Pain is Good

It’s been an enjoyable day.

First Alex Tabarrok threw my book against the wall and promised to kick me in the shins if I venture near George Mason University – and sent my Amazon.com ranking up to number 3634.

Now Brad DeLong offers to "throw one of my two copies out my sixth-floor office window and to trap
Tom Slee in the Evans Hall middle south elevator for no less than
thirty minutes" – and sends it up to 2,460.

Thanks to both of them. I think.
