What do you do when you’re so sick of politics, you can’t stand to turn on the news— and when your football teams are losing so badly it ruins Sunday afternoon… and Sunday night… And Thursday night… And Monday night… and when your favorite restaurant starts listing the calories for every single menu item.  I’ll tell you what you do to take your mind off the real world.

As they say: the more things change… So what kind of mood do you think I’m still in five years later?
