As a award winning journalist I was going to cover this event. However my wife wouldn’t let me. She knows I have no self-control and figured I’d chow down on too much falafel. She says her insurance won’t cover another surgery for me and doesn’t want to be embarassed in front of her “dancing” friends when I become a fat ass again.
