Can’t Stomach the Holidays?

  • Written by The VAR Guy 1
  • December 22, 2008

And how was your weekend? As the image suggests, The VAR Guy has been sick since Friday. But the miracle of endless sleep combined with a few gallons of Gatorade got our resident blogger back on his feet today. Timeless (and sometimes tasteless) blogging resumes today. Happy Holidays.

    That image for some reason made myself a bit sick.

    Vadim: You’re lucky. That’s only a lame cartoon rendition of The VAR Guy’s weekend. The real thing was much uglier. Nevertheless, sorry to turn your stomach.

    Good to see you’re back in action. By some odd combination of events I somehow dodged being sick this weekend. Started feeling that ache and pain all over. Now it’s all gone. 😉

    Mattthorany: Thanks for the note. Stay healthy and get wealthy (or wealthier…) in 2009.

    All the best,
    – The VAR Guy
