Binding contractual agreement

AGREEMENT
Re: Wager on Colts v. Bears
Hoskins v. VanAcker, No. 07-SUPERBOWL-XLI
Pursuant to an email agreement reached Jan. 28, 2007, this is a binding contractual document that constitutes an official wager between Bob VanAcker and Mike Hoskins. This wager shall be settled upon final outcome of Super Bowl XLI, to be held Feb. 4, 2007 between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears (hereafter referred to as "The Game").

Whereas, Loser shall - upon notification of outcome of The Game provide brewed alcoholic beverages (herein: "beer") to Winner. This said beer shall be of Winner's choosing and in packaged form of 24 cans. Said Loser shall make arrangements to deliver said beer within 60 days, or by April 4, 2007.

Therefore, said Winner shall determine how settled debt is to be divided. Parties shall individually bear responsibility for additional expenses related to these terms, including but not limited to room and board, travel and mileage, and extracurricular activities.
Delinquency in satisfying disputed debt shall result in third-party arbitration with a mutually-agreeable arbitrator (i.e. Cory Heck).

Copies of this binding agreement have been sent to Larry Hoskins and Jeremy Sarnovsky, retained legal counsels; Cory Heck, selected third-party arbitrator; Susanne Hoskins, witness and asset-holder of contractee Michael W. Hoskins; and Scott Andrew and Justin Doescher, witnesses.

Done in both Indianapolis, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois, this 1st day of February, 2007.

TRANSLATION....
Hoskins and Bobby bet their respective teams would stomp the other into the ground in the 2007 Super Bowl (GO COLTS!).
Whoever loses has to buy a case. We're not going to wait forever, though, and no one's getting away with crappy beer!
Winner decides if other can share in beer-drinking of the winnings. While winner might put loser up at their place for the stay, paying for traveling, bar tabs or extra entertainment isn't included in this bet.
If it doesn't happen like this, Cory (a neutral party) decides what happens.
These people got copied because it's funny and they'll appreciate the legal humor. And Suz, since she'll have to live with the consequences of whoever wins or loses.

Why We Need Diabetes Awareness Month... More Than Ever

Image
Hello again, Diabetes Awareness Month. Yup, November marks another national awareness month -- aimed at those in America who are pancreatically-challenged or rapidly heading in that direction. And on Nov. 14, we'll once again mark international World Diabetes Day honoring the birthday of insulin co-discoverer Dr. Frederick Banting, who was born on this day in 1891. As always during this time of year, we've been inundated with marketing pitches from organizations big and small. And as always around this time of year, many in our community ponder the perennial question: Does it all matter? Really? Admittedly, it's not outside the realm of reasonableness to question the effectiveness of NDAM (shorthand for National Diabetes Awareness Month). But our country is in a different place in 2017 compared to past years, is it not? It's a good time to set skepticism aside to argue that November's designation as Diabetes Awareness Month truly does matte...

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte...
