Fun with math, aka My soul is dying

I live about 20 miles away from where I work.  Lately in the mornings, it's been taking about two hours to get to work.  Yup, that's correct.  TWO HOURS.  Traffic is abnormally shitty, but even when i...

My Day of Soccer, or Dos A Cero Siempre!

Hey dad... wanna have a catch?

Will you be Al Cowlings to my OJ Simpson in my attempt to kill time?
