Growing up in West Texas, I once had the most beautiful night of my life. Or, if it wasn’t the most beautiful night, it surely was one of them. My father taught me about the stars in the sky when I was pretty young, and as grew older I became fascinated with the stars.

The National Football League has started its second century as the gridiron world’s highest achievable professional level. Formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, it rebranded itself in 1922 as the NFL.

“No problem.” That is how I used to reply to people who thanked me for holding the door open for them or for offering some other small gesture. I don’t know where I got into the habit of saying this to people, but I do not say it anymore.
