Dispatches From the Fortress – Day 333

I think but am not sure the Super Bowl is on as I type this. I don't know when it is, don't know who's playing, don't care who's playing, don't care who wins, etc. And if things go the way they usually do with these, I will hear no one talking about the game itself later but lots of discussions about the commercials.

Hey, if you're tried to friend me on Facebook, please understand I am not snubbing you. They allow you 5000 "friends" and I'm currently at 4954 with over a thousand friend requests pending, some of which are probably from people who've passed away since they put themselves on that list. And when I do try to "friend" someone back, Facebook sometimes tells me that I have hit the maximum even though I should have 46 spots open. It's nothing personal. It's just Facebook.

Not only am I not looking at the Super Bowl this weekend, I'm not looking at political stuff. I did though get a message from someone who in the months before the election, tweeted madly and sent out e-mails insisting that Trump would win by the widest margin in the history of presidential elections…and now the guy wants to know if I'm ready to admit that Donald did. I suspect this guy bet big on whichever team lost or loses the Super Bowl and will never pay up.
