Occasionally people mistake me for a retired professor, not encouraged; more often they think I'm a poor speller; in an earlier life I was one of the first kicked off for excessive vanities and pled my way back on (something I'm still unproud of); this weekend I became for the first time a sports nut; not sports in general but one underrated, unappreciated team resurrected by an audacious break with political correctness, rescued by a frustrated coach and victorious climaxes.
