It's Me, It's Me, It's C.E.D.
Oh man, oh man, oh man. Where do I start? It's been a wild week for me, and it has little to nothing to do with sports; though it will be mentioned. In a span of a number of days, I went from bewildered, to panicked, to frustrated, to nearly on the point to tears, to finally receiving some relief, answers, and a solution. It was one hell of a test for me, and thankfully, I passed with flying colors.

The Most Interesting Person in the Room
Victor was a small, round man with hair the colour of a golden retriever. He owned and managed a tavern in Shrewsbury, England and lived in one of the suites. His suite was dusty and mostly dark, and there were piles up to the ceiling with the various trinkets he had stockpiled over the years. Some would say he was somewhat of a hoarder, but Victor liked to think of himself more of a collector, or a man that valued sentiment. If it had a memory attached to it, he was going to keep it. Besides, it’s not like he ever spent much time in his suite anyway. He went there overnight to sleep and bathe but his days and evenings were spent mostly down in the tavern’s pub area where he served drinks to his needy customers.
