13. Good Stuff. I Was Hung Over.

I was up LATE with my brother-in-law partying like a rock star. My wife had given me that morning off from parenting our then 4-month-old twin boys and our then 5-year-old girl. I was pissed when she woke me up so early.

"WTF is going on? Someone better be on fire!" I said.

"Um... potentially worse," she said, and handed me her phone. I saw the alert, sat up, rubbed my eyes and looked again... yep, it looked real. I grabbed my phone and saw it there too.

Funny you mentioned Dump, because the first thing I said after seeing it was, "Well, it took barely a year for that fucking moron to end the world, I guess."

I got up and grabbed a beer from the fridge. Why not? We were all going to be French fries in 15 minutes anyway.

I started reading about this, and the TV was on, and I was confused about why not much was being said.

I was scouring Twitter and starting to think that yeah, this actually could be happening. A few minutes later we got the 'all-clear' and I went immediately back to bed.
