I’ve got a case of the Sundays today. It seems to be generally brought on by this mediocre football team that has flashes of brilliance; otherwise known as The Detroit Lions. I’ve never been a football fan. We never watched sports growing up (with the occasionally exception of NASCAR, but I think that was purely for the crashes). I had no favorite teams.

I have no idea what it is but something about me draws out all the weird people in the world. I’m driving to work this morning minding my own business; just bopping down the [...]
