Seasonal Tastes















What say you? The right or the left? Unlike my politics, my decision here is clear-cut.

Winter
? I abhor it. I have been fortunate enough to spend the past few winters in Panama and have not felt the Balitc thrusts of Old Man Winter for a while. I am fearful of what effect this winter, and for that case autumn, may have on my psyche. Regardless of who I wake up beside, my daily morale is 100% correlated to the temperature outside and the amount of sunshine peaking through my mahogany blinds in the morning.

Besides the aforementioned, my contempt for winter is based upon the unacceptable seasonal sartorial shifts. When I sit down at day's end to enjoy hard-earned libation, the last sight I fancy is a gorgeous woman fortified in enough garb to make Vladimir Putin jealous. Myself, I prefer the Panamanian choice of "winter" dress, which usually involves nary enough cloth to decorate a Yorkie's neck.

My love for warm weather is deep-seated and well substantiated, and I'd appreciate if you would not try and offer me justifications for winter such as "I love the snow" and "I enjoy the seasons changing." I predict my frequent flyer miles may be exhausted at winter's end.


PLS&D.

NFL vs. College Football

Along with afternoon cocktails and Asian women, another minor vice of mine is gambling on football. I don't gamble much, and don't do it consistently, but I do find myself sitting on the edge of my seat for a Central Michigan - Idaho State caliber matchup from time to time. My theory is that lesser known college games have softer lines than the marquee games. This approach has treated me well over the years. Yesterday was not one of those days. Went big on USC, and they did not cover. No worries, just dropped my Michelob Light for a Famous Grouse. All was well.

However I do temper the said vice in that I choose not to gamble on the NFL anymore. The parody in the NFL turns every game into a coin toss. 4th quarter backdoor covers have ruined my Sunday afternoons more than a few times. Nothing worse, as Sundays are bad enough without the smart of debt.

So, akin to my taste in women, I'll steer clear of the professionals (for now) and stick with what works : the college-age contingent.
