Spring's almost here

OK, you can't tell by looking out the window today, but spring is coming. I know. Spring training is about a week away and Cubs regular season tickets went on sale today too. Of course, after being in the virtual waiting room for an ungodly amount of time, I attempted to order, only to be told the volume was too high and I should try again later. See, us Cubs fans aren't only used to disappointment at the end of the season, but before it starts too!

Congratulations, you're the winner

I remember the first thing I ever won. It was a small AM/FM radio (no cool boombox or anything like that) in some kind of contest at my grade school. Since then, I've won...well, not much. I've entered here and there and occassionally play the Lottery. I once won $50 or something like that on a pick 4 game. Other than that, I can't say I'm very lucky. And don't get me started on my lack of luck at casinos. But here's a guy who's won so much over the years, his house is overflowing. What's his secret?
