Lessons of the week.

One of the things I learned this week is that God and the universe will not allow you to wallow in self-pity for a very long time. They will throw good stuff - small stuff - into your life that will make you feel grateful despite all the problems you are having. It's just your call if you're gonna recognize and accept it or not. In my case, I did and now I'm feeling a lot better than I did last Friday.

I've also learned that betting against guys will get you in (drunken) trouble. I made a bet against two guys last Monday where I know think I'm gonna lose. Just so you know, loser takes 5 shots of Gran Matador, the very same drink I swore off from drinking back in '08. Lucky me, huh?
