I was shopping in a Vietnamese supermarket this morning. The music being piped in was in Vietnamese, but then they played an English-language New Years song, which reminded me that it’s New Years Day.

By the way, my year is the year of the cat.

And I’m the year of the horse. Maybe I’ll have better luck this year.

Denver got their ass kicked. Maybe it was Grogan.
