silver lining

Matt and his dad can talk for hours about football alone, and most Sundays, I’m bemused (and enraged) when the phone rings and I hear it go on and on. Today’s conversation has segued into the Penn State scandal, and he’s in another room now, ignoring the game (!), dissecting their mutual outrage (about everything but the firing, obviously). I wonder if this is happening between other football-lovers. I hope.
