Today is a good day if you’re a huge sports nerd. In Britain it is Boxing Day, where all government entities basically shut down, people do lots of shopping, and everyone watches soccer. It’s kind of like Thanksgiving and Black Friday combined into one. I know I can count on all of you to join me in cheering on Everton as they face Leicester, right? RIGHT???
Today is also the beginning of the World Junior Hockey Championships. A joyous occasion in which entire countries place an insane burden on a bunch of teenagers playing a game filled with random chance and then evaluate their existential worths as human beings based on the results.
