The Timberwolves, in an unusual break from Minnesota tradition, are doing well so far. What drove them to shirk our proud legacy of mediocrity we cannot say. What we can say is that there's good news: if such unorthodoxy is driving you to drink, you don't have to drink alone. Have your toddler pop open a bottle of scotch. You won't go to prison. Just don't be surprised if you lose visitation rights shortly thereafter.
