Sad indeed, Ed T! Especially when said person is wed to a sports fan.....ah well.
May I please join you in the tavern? I don't drink much alcohol, but I will bring some freshly ground coffee and my French press, and some freshly-baked-by-me goodies. In the other hand I will be bringing my ukulele, while strapped on my back will be a guitar or two. I bring goodwill, and no desire to argue or fight.....just the desire to chill out.

Cheers
