De-Motivation

Oh, we have lots of excuses: we're recovering from our celebration of yesterday's Nail Biting Civil War game, where the Beavs pulled it out in double overtime to beat the Ducks on their home turf for the first time since 1993.

Cameron has asked me eleventy million times today if we can hang up the lights, but he keeps getting the same answer: next weekend, sweetie.

I hope.
