For me, a happy time is coming
Aug 17th, 2008 |
Tonight, I was at Wal-Mart and I was buying milk. As I usually look for the farthest-off expiration date, I was confronted with an interesting sight. All of the cartons had a “use by” date of 8/29/08, save one. The lone ranger’s date was 8/30/08. So I grabbed it.
Folks, this is huge. We are now within one milk carton of college football starting. (Georgia’s first game is on Saturday, 8/30/08, against Georgia Southern).
In a fortnight, it's best if this is all used up. But even if it's not, I'll be too happy to care.

I am so very glad that I don’t have to work that football game, or any other football game, any more. You may like it from home, or tailgating somewhere, but working the stands or the intersections in the mode of cleaning up during it or afterwards… It’s taxing to the soul.
Speaking of taxes, how much did you pay for that milk?

Er…who can even keep track any more (as far as taxes go)? It was 1.99, I’m pretty sure. Wally World, you know.
I am happy for you that you are happily relieved of ever having to do football games again. I cannot imagine how difficult of a job it is.
