In any case... on Sunday night I missed the game because my high school band seniors and I went to see Jersey Boys... it was great. Even better, some of my kids met one of the stars afterwards... a guy named Drew Seeley. Not sure who he is (they tell me he's a big deal) and we spent about 15 minutes waiting for them to get pictures with him. Based on the tweets I heard being read while driving back, they haven't stopped tweeting about it. I could link some of them here (no, they don't follow me, I don't follow them, but they're not hard to find), but I won't.
anyways.... given the subject material of Jersey Boys (seriously, go see it if you have the chance)... let's hope the Wild take the 4 Season's advice and:

Just how do we measure who is a "superior leader"? And who is a "contributing member"? Also, why are we assuming that's a good thing? I mean, in a weird way, criminals contribute to society by giving us a common enemy and providing police departments with a job.
