Reason #24 why I don't do the lottery

The week before last (yep - it took that long before I was prepared to talk about it), Alma brought me to a Lakers' game - the LA Lakers basketball team for those of you who've led a rather sheltered life.  They were playing against the Sacramento Kings ... nobodies in the realms of basketball glory as far as I was concerned.  Despite leaving 90 minutes ahead of time for what should have been a 25 minute drive, we still managed to miss the first half of the game ... but let's not dwell on details.

I've never considered myself to be a gambling man and for good reason it would seem.  The last time lucky #71 let me down by not even showing up at the side line for the Charger's football game - claiming injury.  This time it would be #24 - Kobe Bryant of all people - who would disappoint me, again claiming to be "injured".  How does a guy who earned 27.85 million dollars in 2012 even dare to claim he's injured.  Think about the fans man ! (especially the blow in ones who are there for a one off game and yet went to the bother of buying a shirt just so they could look the part).

And not that's it's relevant or anything, but the Lakers lost !

Lucky #24 my eyeball !
