Just finished watching the great Minnesota v. Lakers game. Minnesota won in overtime, even though almost all the referees' calls went against them. It was weird, I don't care about basketball at all, but watching this game I had to root for Minnesota. I can't watch a game and honestly not care who wins; I'll pick a side. Usually the side others in the room have chosen, since it's more fun to watch a game with fellow fans (and I use the term loosely here).
A Cool Web of Language
There's a cool web of language weaves us in,
Retreat from too much joy and too much fear:
We grow sea-green at least and coldly die
In brininess and volubility.
