So while dating is expensive, hanging out with Il at Ringside can possibly be worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I usually try to get the heck out of Dodge a little early on Fridays because the later you&#8217;re there, the more likely it is that a customer gives you a last minute Friday afternoon present.
