In the world of sports, we root for our teams... win, lose or draw. With the midterm elections upon us, I think I'll take the same approach. I'll vote for my people and accept the outcome. I'm too old to play any games and, by this time, too wise to fall for scare tactics. Go Team!

Because I've been here since 2009, I felt it was time to switch my sports rooting interests from teams based in NYC to teams based in the South. But this episode isn't about hardcore, or even passive, fandom. It's more about hometown pride, with me having felt that sense of pride for the first time in my life!

The American poet and essayist Mary Karr once said that “a dysfunctional family is any family with more than one person in it.” And here's a quote from an anonymous source that also fits this topic: “There is no such thing as the perfect family. Every family is unique with its own combination of strengths and weaknesses.”

Take what you like and leave the rest!
