American Football. Living here there are not a whole lot of possibilities to select from that would not be considered wasting time. For sure, “one man’s passion is another man’s poison”, is in play here. Watching sports at one of the pubs here, playing poker, golf, billiards, drlnking on the blvd, the endless search to find a decent restaurant, gardening, cooking, hours on the internet, chasing the ladies, whatever, for most of us older folks, beats the hell out of working, Another day above ground to waste our time is better than the alternative. Personally, watching football is a far more enjoyable experience than talking politics over coffee at Sans Rival.
Luck. How about lucky in love here! Low odds for many.

Dude and Dustin, keep those interesting posts going. Insightful.
