Finally got to see my son after The Succubus, who has refused any cooperation as part of her Silver Bullet strategy of making up a bunch of shit to see what sticks, had kept him away from me for over a year. My little dude carried on like I had been off on a weekend business trip and we had a blast together.

Then I decided to stop off at a casino on my way home, and while I'm not much of gambler I do like a nice cigar every now and then and they are a great place to enjoy one. Instead of losing my customary $20 over 45 minutes or so before being on my way I wound up about a hundred and decided to hit max bet before cashing out on my machine and calling it a night... and I hit a minor jackpot and walked out with $500 more in my pocket.

It's definitely been a year on a steady diet of shit sandwiches so it's nice to see that the universe isn't a complete asshole all of the time.

Cheers gents, and merry Christmas.
