I find the cult of sports fandom fascinating. All day long, I had coworkers coming up to me and offering their congratulations after the Denver Broncos beat Carolina to win Super Bowl 50. I received heaps of praise and so many fist bumps, high fives, and pats on the back, you’d think I played a crucial roleContinue reading “United in Orange”

No Bright Colors in the Zombie Apocalypse
I was watching The Walking Dead last night and made an interesting observation. Not sure if I ever noticed it before, but for some reason there are no bright colors in the zombie apocalypse.

Anybody Seen Alex Deibold?
The Winter Olympics have been on for a while now, and I’ve been kinda into them.
