impending victory

nuclear winter
i feel like i should be preparing differently. what will the world look like in 3 years?
the path to victory
Just bought a football in preparation for our flag football league. We’ve got a solid gathering of non-athletes, including some who’ve never caught a football before. Destined for success!

Accidentally threw out my bus pass, so I plan to go the rest of the month without paying for bus. Today’s driver wasn’t a fan of my September pass, but let me on anyways.
