Argh. Unless you grew up in upper right hand corner, you have no idea of the
reality of how this affects your life each year,

Relax, man...this "reality" has no impact at all on _real_ reality :-)
(and I grew up in Cleveland so I know a little about last-minute-losing
sports teams :-)

Seriously, though, I can't stand baseball. Its the most boring
professional sport out there. Except maybe soccer. (Oops, that's
not professional anymore, at least on this side of the pond.)

When I was still young I made a vow that I'd never choose to _watch_
a sports game if I had the opportunity to go out and actually play
one. Sure I could sit and enjoy a Browns game, but if someone else
was up for playing nine, I was outta there...turns out that a Browns
game is the best time to be out on the golf course...you have it
almost all to yourselves :-)

Now that I live out west, with _soo_ much to do outdoors all the time,
I can't hardly make it through a game on TV. It's just so boring.
Any sport.

Well, except golf. The Sunday round of a major where the leader board
is tight is awfully hard to beat...

I'm sure I'll get flamed for that!

Jon.
