I was having a conversation with the Mrs. last night about why my disposition has been generally grouchier than that of my normal jovial self this week. We went back and forth on a lot of possible contributing factors, and eventually we settled on two things—being hangry too often and the Wild being in a nasty slump right now. The solutions are for me to be more responsible about eating food before it starts affecting my mood and willing Minnesota back to its winning ways.
When things are going well for the Wild, and the team is winning five games for every one that it loses, as has been the case during some portions of this season, I can’t help but go to bed happy and wake up happier.
