First and foremost, I hope everyone in the DN family is having a great summer. It’s that time of the year. The Dead Zone: OTAs in the rearview and the news (mainly) grinds to a halt. Training camp is two weeks away, so the mind tends to wander. Yeah, it’s a period I’m not fond of…at all. When your fandom stretches back to the days when cassettes and VHS tapes were the primary modes of music and movie consumption, respectively, mid-to-late July is when a pinch of excitement meets 10 cups of apprehension. It’s a horrible recipe. The layers of scar tissue created by a seemingly endless string of heartbreak start to itch and aggravate.
