You're Sad Today Because...

One British professor theorizes that this third Monday of January is the saddest day of the year. Why? Because of holiday debt, broken New Years resolutions and dreary weather.

Well, today I am in luck because I paid cash for my holiday spending, I didn't make New Years Resolutions and as it happens it is a bright, bright sunshiny winter day!

So is this theory a bunch of bullsh!t? What do you think? Are you having a sad day?
