Up at 5AM on a Sunday

Showered, bright eyed, and ready for my day. It used to be that is about what time I'd be going to bed from partying Saturday night.

I've gotten kind of snobby when it comes to professional sports. I guess I was kind of thinking that I'm beyond such primal things intellectually now days.

But today I could really dig a big pile of chicken wings, a six pack, and about 8 hours of pro football. But I've got a boatload of accounting homework that's due tonight so I better get my calculator warmed up and get into my snobby intellectual frame of mind and get to work.

Maybe I can catch the late game.

The snobby intellectual accountants that I have gotten to know over the past years on the job still enjoy sports and a good beer. And they can afford to buy tickets for the really good seats at Comerica Park and Ford Field. No doubt the good microbrews, too.

It is already paying off for you. Only gets better from here. There will still be beer and football after the homework is done.
