Lessons learned from the Super Bowl
Now that the excitement has died down from the Super Bowl, we can reflect on what happened. Even though I live in Boston, I am not a football fan. I still don’t understand the appeal of very large men jumping on top of each other. Of course, if I were to get paid millions of […]
