Late nights, lost games, and a broken bike

Hoo boy, I stayed up late last night watching the State of Origin, and I’m pooped! I’ll be drinking all the coffee today.
For my international readers, the State of Origin is an Australian rugby league football series, best out of three games. It’s played state against state, Queensland vs New South Wales. Professional rugby league players are selected to play for the state where they played their first senior game. It’s arguably more important than the actual club Rugby League series. It’s divisive, and people are extremely passionate about their chosen state. The game has a lot of history, supposedly the first interstate game was played in 1908, and there has been fights, blood, sweat, and tears.
And so much banter.…
