Night Falling on the City, Sparkling Red and Gold

If one of the greatest benefits of the human experience is that little moment where something quite unexpected happens and causes you to smile, such a moment occurred this afternoon.

While working out in the apartment complex's on-site facility, I glanced up at the television just in time to have ESPN's bottom line inform me that, and I quote, "Ochocinco reports to OTAs, expects to practice."

Then, and only then, did I remember: "Ah, yes. Only in 21st century American sports could an athlete legally change his surname from 'Johnson' to 'Ochocinco.'"

What a world, folks. What a world.
