What a glorious day it is to be alive.
It’s Friday Jr. and the NCAA Tournament starts today, which means Daddy (me) is gonna be getting a little drunk and doing a little sports gambling after work, kick the weekend off a little early.
Speaking of kicking off the weekend early, I have this one degenerate friend who actually took off from his super cushy job for the next two days to get hammered and gamble. What a time to be alive indeed.
