Ring-a-ding »

In my quest to have one awesome day after the other, I find I’m still vexed by little things. Things like people who, very obviously, don’t want to spend time with the person on the “other side of the table” because they’re too busy checking their cellphones.

One of the most interesting facts pointed out to me recently is that the four semifinalists—Pittsburgh, Chicago, Boston, and Los Angeles—are the last four winners of the Stanley Cup. No matter who wins, it hasn’t taken long to become a repeat winner.…
