Life Down Under

In response to the comment about my lack of comment about the All Blacks...

I deem it wisdom at this point in my budding career as a sports writer and analyst to concentrate my efforts on the sports (er, um, sport) about which I am both passionate and possessing of at least a small bit of knowledge about the game. Rugby does not qualify. On either point.

I shall therefore remain silent about the All Black's tragic loss this past weekend, except to say that all members of my immediate family have taken the news surprisingly well.
