Yes, I know.  I say it a lot. All the time. <\/p>\n

My friends and family are the best. <\/p>\n

Why do I say it so often? <\/p>\n

Because it is true and because  they demonstrate it to me so frequently. 
\nWe had a pre-game meetup at the Doctors. Then we had drinks, dinner, drinks, some minor dog fighting, Cards Against Humanity, and a threat to beat up someone who was mean to me in another life.<\/p>\n

Laughing so hard you can’t read the cards. Talking to people you’ve known your whole life. <\/p>\n

The usual.<\/p>\n

Then a long talk afterwards about all of the important stuff in life  until it was way beyond too late for bed. <\/p>\n

We are getting up very early to tailgate. <\/p>\n

I will be sleepy, and I will not care a bit. <\/p>\n

I know the best people, and my life is wonderful. <\/p>\n

I hope yours is, too. <\/p>\n

PS<\/p>\n

Go Ducks!<\/p>\n
