Another week, another New England Patriots loss, another chance for me to work on seeing how far I can stretch my own BS meter as I hobble towards the finish line of these Coping With Loss articles. Never in my wildest nightmares did I think I’d ever find myself writing up to 15 of these in a single season, but here I find myself.
Nobody’s fault but mine.
