Surprisingly I did too however my German immigrant grandmother grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Chicago so perhaps I have some inside knowledge.

That was fun being able to get into the mind of the "howler monkey".

It was interesting during the middle of football season here, that there were letters to the editor & articles written here in the local paper concerning sportsmanship.

Here's a good example of one of the letters I am talking about:
