A couple of Sundays ago,
I joined millions of people around the world to watch Team USA face off against Team Canada for the gold medal in men's hockey.
Not gonna lie, I wanted Team Canada to win, and as you surely have heard by now,
they didn't, so rough day for me, but a great day for so many friends of mine.
One of them, my pal Katrina, texted our group Sunday night.
You should have seen me weeping tears of joy this morning.
I texted back.
I wept the other kind.
But over the course of the following few days, Katrina had buyer's remorse.
The joy faded and was replaced by a different feeling altogether.
On Tuesday night, she texted again, Sean, if it makes you feel any better,
basically every single last drop of joy that I received from the men winning the gold has pretty much been eradicated.

Until now, mobile phone companies have worked very hard to ensure their phones do not start fires.
