Default It’s a legal drug.

where alcohol is ilegal. If Texas legalizes marijuana and i have investments in it, this will be fine with me. I
just don’t want my patio to smell like cheech and Chong. Maybe somebody develops marijuana that smells good instead of a 🦨 skunk. People used to tell me that they couldn’t handle the smell of nicotine cigarettes. I smoked for 33 years and now April 12 will be 9 years since I quit. I don’t go to bars where smoking is allowed because now that I don’t smoke it badders me. Hell I use to smoke in the last two rows of first class all the time. In Vegas I found myself moving to a different table or slot machine due to cigarette smoke. But once again I take the smell of cigarettes any day compared to Mary Jane. I never smoked inside my houses or cars. With the cost of cigarettes I have probably save myself over $50k.

I’m getting closer to premium status at total wine two more trips. In here it’s a lot cheaper than specs.

I haven't been following too close but would like to see a surprise winner. St. Peter's Peacocks have been doing quite well!

professionally I was paid to wine and dine customers all over the world. Hey as long as the sales numbers were exceeded it was all fine. When I quit smoking April 12 2012 I also quit drinking coffee and alcohol. I went to AA and stayed alcohol free for two years. Anyway, one day I just said to myself I like it, I enjoyed and haven’t created the disasters that a bunch of people spoke about on the AA meetings, anyway I went back to drinking beer, and now I really enjoy good bourbon. Cheers I’m on my first 151 Cuba libre.

I am hoping the Zags can finally pull it off this year!

For Final 4 I am thinking Nova, Zags, Tech, and Arizona.

You may have nailed the final 4. Great thing about college hoops is that anything can happen. It's all in how you gel during the tournament.

Love to see Zags vs Nova in the final.

Sounds great
Since I’m paying for my daughter’s fifth year (she graduated from Villanova in ‘20 and is currently a grad student) there..
They could at least win another championship

Very true. There are always some good games and crazy upsets.

That'd make for a great matchup for the championship, but I'll be rooting for the Zags.

Crazy is right. You never know. Zags would be such a great fit for the Big East if it wasn't for geography. Great program.

real great times this year. I would push for Texas tech but I’m, being realistic. Anyway while I was in Vegas and sitting at the extra lounge in planned Hollywood a dude shows up wearing a Baylor shirt, my wife gets in a conversation with him because she went the first year at Baylor. When
i mentioned Texas Tech , he was pissed. Anyway we finished, making a bet that Texas Tech was going deeper in the tournament than Baylor. My wife just got the $100 payment Today, north Carolina took care of number one seat Baylor in the first round. I think gonzaga is going to win it all.

Shoe Halo Display I helped create. Installed at Dicks Sporting Goods Victor, NY.

we designed, built and painted the Roto casting machine. Used 3D printed patterns of the shoes and created silicone rubber molds to make parts. Laser etched the names of significant employees.

over budget 😎

Chris Rock missed an opportunity, should have taken out his cell phone and called 911 onstage, on live TV, and had Will Smith taken out in handcuffed. Would have been biggest TV moment, and would have been just.

Chris Rock should have said something about Smith’s wife being such ***** and Will for being a crying little cuckold.
