Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I've read that it's become conventional wisdom that "great" ads aren't actually good for selling, which makes sense if you think about it.

I was hoping the Bears would win, but since they played so crappily, they sure as hell didn't deserve to.

Only good thing was that I won that money--most I've ever won betting!

We'll know if that's really true if we don't get the Olympics in 2016. That's the sports thing I'm really hoping for. Well, that, and a Cubs World Series, but that'll mean that hell's frozen over, so...
