Look, I'm sure there are some of my friends out there saying, "I thought this guy was a market guy. What happened to him?"

My first instinct, upon finding a quart of ice cream in the freezer, wasn't to figure out if anyone else wanted some. My first instinct was to eat the whole thing.
Then, when I dropped my third bowl on the kitchen floor, my first instinct was to let the cats lick it up. This had always seemed to work before.
I mean, when you see a big ole snake in the road, isn't your first instinct to run over the damn thing?
