THAT’S what you focus on? 🆒

If I won a scores-of-millions lottery jackpot (unlikely, as I never buy lottery tickets), I’d [del]likely[/del] certainly quit my job and go back to college simply for the hell of it. I want to know everything about everything.

Well, that’s not true. I’ve virtually no interest in sports.
