The Parting of the Clouds

Man, what a rough night. I took a bus back to Lao Cai, and then another night train from there to Hanoi. I could barely sleep in the train. So, when I arrived in Hanoi at 5am, I was exhausted. Then there was another cabbie that I was sure ripped me off. Then I couldn't get the fan in my room to work. I went straight back to sleep with a frown on my face.

But then, I come to this spot, and check something I've been wanting to check since I got on the train. Steelers 34, Titans 7. Willie Parker unstoppable. Big Ben = Perfect Passer Rating. And the clouds part, and the gridiron angels sing a lilting, cherubic tune you can just barely hear, until it gets a little louder, and then a little louder........"here we go, Steelers, here we go! hear we GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!"

It's amazing the power 53 strangers in helmets have over my mood, lattitude and longitude notwithstanding.
