Have you ever been to a sports game that got really exciting because ofa late-game comeback, a close score, or a buzzer beater?  You know whatthe stadium sounds like at those moments: loud.  There are somany rituals associated with sports, but maybe the most primal is thechant.  Whether you’re singing “We Will Rock You,” a…

If you had just one word to describe your day, what would it be?  Would it be about your day as it is, or as it could be?  Would you find something positive to say no matter what, or would you use a negative word on a negative day? Share your one-word day describer below,…
