Tonight I purchased a lottery ticket. Technically I purchased several lottery tickets.
I feel dirty.
Growing up, all I ever heard from my parents (meaning: my father) was that lotteries were bad and preyed on the poor.

Maybe I'll feel less dirty if I actually win something.
Until next time...

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs.
Only we are doing ourselves in much faster than they ever did.We'll make great pets!
Until next time...
