Sorry, once again, life is intervening. I had a real life social engagement tonight - I had to go eat hot wings. 
Oh, sure, keep acting like you’re upset - I’m sure you’ll find some way to win this game before it’s over, legit or not.
Who, me? Oh, I’m a… marketing consultant. Yeah, that’s it.
Apart from the Scotch and smokes, I don’t have any hobbies.
What did you do during the week before this party? Anything interesting?
