Gracias, Spike

Wow, today was a total rollercoaster, but it started out on the right foot for sure. I got to work and had this *enormous* bottle of bourbon waiting for me. I won this bottle in a bet on the Kansas game against my friend Spike. He's one helluva guy. We won't discuss the trickery I had in mind had I lost. He's a better man than I (or person. whatever).
